Need the correct tire pressure

[xtoolmaker]

I am changing from 16 inch to 17 inch tires.Need the tire pressure off your door jam for 245/65/17 inch tires.I have a 03 xls 4X4 but any model with 245's stock will tell me what I need.

Not saying I know what I'm talking about here, but.. Wouldn't it depend on the type of tire you got to determine proper tire wear and comfort?

proper pressure is 35 psi from the door of the truck

No the tire pressure recommended on the door by Ford is for any tire of that size on that year vehicle. Thanks for the quick reply though.

Thanks Justin, but I really would like someone with a 02-05 to chime in here.30 psi front35 psi rear is what the 235/70/16 tires that came stock on my X are supposed to run.Maybe any size stock tire is 35psi.

Maybe any size stock tire is 35psi.

This is correct, you can up the pressure to anything you want (that the tire can hold) based on gas mileage, the higher the pressure the higher the gas mileage, but the more wear and irregular wear the tire will experience.

However to the main question, The pressure is 35 psi for a 2002-2005 explorer.

tire pressure for third gen X

Tried this on the 02-05 forum with no luck. Can someone with a 02-05 X 4X4 with 245/65/17 stock tires give me the pressure reading from the drivers door?I am switching over from 16in. to 17in. the X has 235/70/16 on it from the factory with a 30 psi front 35 psi rear fill spec.Thanks

ahh, I see. I only say that because my door says to run the P235s at 26 psi. However, I run 31x10.50s at 38 psi with perfect even treadwear and a little more of a rough ride. I dunno, was just curious.

 

[97sprt4x4]

Seriously?!

for the third time. its 35 psi.

oh and for the record... i work in a tire shop so i've done my fair share of x's.

Thanks alot for the correct pressure.I trust the door sticker as they have a lot riding on it with the old rollover issue.My door sticker with the 16" tires says 30 front,35rear.

it should also say the correct PSI On the tire`s wall. It may be different for the type of tires your getting

NO!

This is the maximum pressure that is allowed on the tire before it becomes unsafe to drive on it. Your car probably will ride like **** and you will wear the tires out a lot faster if you ride with this at it's maximum.

Read up on things before you post.
