Tire inflation

Recommended Posts

I don't think it lists specific pressures, Edge has many different tires. And sometimes you cannot go by what is on the tire if the same tire is used for different applications.

 

Hi igcitng. :D You are partially correct. Ford Owners Manuals rarely include recommended tire pressures. The Owners Manual actually tells us to consult the sticker on the drivers side door sill/jamb.

 

However, just to avoid confusion: You can never "...go by what is on the tire...". The pressure listed on the tire sidewall is the "maximum cold inflation pressure". And generally speaking. no auto manufacturer would ever recommend coming close to that "maximum cold inflation pressure" listed on the tire sidewall. You use the auto manufacturers recommend cold inflation pressure listed on the door sill/jamb sticker. Even a few psi higher (i.e. 2-5psi) can be beneficial for fuel mileage, handling, tire life, etc. with little effect on ride comfort. But for safety purposes, never inflate to the maximum pressure listed on the tire sidewall.

 

Hope this information helps and avoids any confusion for others.

 

Good luck. :beerchug:
