: The pressure should be between 28 to 32 PSI, radials have different side walls and run different pressures. Label is for old bias tires and shouldn't be used for anything but restore info. Radials will not work at less then 28PSI.
: Tire pressure for "normal" car situations has nothing to do with how much or little to run in them. Towing, heavy loads, racing, etc. are the only time you should get away from TIRE manufactures recommendations.
: I've got a 72 LTD I have radials on and run 35 all the way around in them.

: 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
