Tire inflation question.

[edwx]

Sticker in door says 33 all around. Dealer says 37 all around. Why do they say that? Assuming 33 is correct.

33 is the number you want. Door sticker is what you follow (Ford pass says the same thing), not what a dealer decides to make up.

The dealer probably uses 37 psi to try and squeeze a few more MPG.............4 psi is not going to hurt anything

Yeah, I'll go with the 33. Thanks.

Good choice.

dealer *might* be using a higher number because they are seeing vehicles that have either been recently driven or sitting inside the shop.

i have mine set to be 33 after sitting in the driveway over night, and after driving around during the day they come up to 39 or higher, depending how hot it gets

I sure hope not. If in doubt they should always check the door sticker. For example, mine is 32 front and 38 rear.

Yeah, it's hot here too. Big difference between cold and hot tires.
