My car came with radials from the factory and the sticker reads tire pressures the same (24 front/26 rear)...You really can't go by this however; you must consider the size tire you are using(width)and the front to rear weight bias of your car. I run 30-32 up front and 26 in the rear with 235/60R-14s...If I run more than this in the rear, it eats the centers of the tires out really bad becausr the car is so light in back. Remember that most Mavericks came with skinny wheels & tires from the factory...
: There was a little debate about tire pressures below, and it was noted that the pressures were for bias ply. That's true, so can someone with a later Maverick or Comet (that had radials) take a look at their tire pressure sticker (pass side door) and let us know what the radial spec is? -CP
