Car Forum / Ford / Ford Cars / March 2005Lincoln recommended tire pressure?
I can't find a number on the tire, except the maximum pressure, and there is no sticker on the door pillar, or anywhere else I can see... Michelin XSE P225/60R17 '04 Lincoln Towncar, pretty normal driving, no excess loads. So what's the consensus on tire inflation pressure? >I can't find a number on the tire, except the maximum pressure, and > there is no sticker on the door pillar, or anywhere else I can see...

Please look in your owner's manual, in the glove comparment where there may be a sticker or on your door sticker.

According to Ford, the stickers are supposed to be permanently affixed to the car in one of three places: on the door, on the pillar, or in the glove box.

Rob Far as I can tell, someone wrote: >Look on the passenger side back door or jamb. The size & inflation >chart is over there... None of the doors or pillars or jams have inflation stickers. There are child safety lock stickers, side airbag stickers and bar code stickers. No inflation stickers. Inside the glove box is only fuzzy fabric. No stickers. The owners manual says to use the tire manufacturers recommendation. No help. I was hoping some one would know the number. >Far as I can tell, someone wrote: >>Look on the passenger side back door or jamb.

Stickers tend to range from 26-32 for the tires that the vehicle came with. Does it have the exact same tire the car was sold with?

Does it have the exact same tire the car was sold with? That's exactly what I am going to do. General around town driving on smooth roads. Thanks >I can't find a number on the tire, except the maximum pressure, and >there is no sticker on the door pillar, or anywhere else I can see... [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >So what's the consensus on tire inflation pressure? It's a balance. Keep in mind higher pressure = more noise, slight reduction in maximum adhesion. Lower pressure = more sidewall deformation and handling that's not quite as "sharp". Plus slightly accelerated tire wear. what do you want to do with the car? Highways or pothole riddled city streets? |
