The label says the recommended tire pressure. The tire shows only the maximum, not what is recommended. That depends on the car. I have always run 26 all the way around on my Maverick (because of the V8) and the tires wear very evenly. This is over 30k later. If you run 30 psi you will probably wear the center of the tire out because of overinflation. -CP
: 1969.5 Maverick with 170 6cyl and 3 on the colum standard shift, no a/c p/s or any extras. Tire pressure on door post says 24psi and 26 psi front and rear but this was for the old conventional tires. New Radial tires says 30 psi all the way around. going by weight of vehicle is the new radial tire pressure to much for the weight of the car? WHich pressure should I use???? Any tire experts out there....Thanks Kelly
