Inside my gasoline fill door it says to put 35 in the back and 32 in the front. I check them, when I do, in the morning when they are cold and make sure that the two rear tires have 35 pounds and the front has 32. It's not rocket science.

What kind of car? That's bassackwards.

You are right. It's not rocket science. You put more pressure in the tires that have the most weight on them.

The engine and tranny are the heavy weight hanging out over the front tires on nearly every car and light truck.

For best ride & tire wear 35 front & 32 rear.

Yes, it’s not a problem as long as you don’t exceed the max inflation listed on the sidewall of the tire.

Its a 2004 Mercury grand Marquis, I'll let Ford Motor company engineers know that they are wrong and to contact you for proper tire inflation on their vehicles.

I usually run recommended in the front and less two in the rear on my truck.

No wonder most people can’t be successful in life. Worried and putting this much effort about the stupidest shite.

This thread made me slightly over inflate my tires before my trip to BR for the game yesterday and I made the best gas mileage I’ve ever made for that trip.

31psi all around used to be a good rule. Get much higher than that and your car will ride like shite.

Of course, the advent of the TPMS sensor has forced us all to jack the pressure way up, because 31psi quickly becomes 29psi on a cold morning and turns on that stupid light.

Still, I keep the pressure as low as I think I can go without turning on that idiot light.

My mustang gets checked for accurate pressure every time I drive it, but it also has $450 a piece tires on it. I run recommended pressures in my SUV but only check it a couple times a month or when we get a big temperature drop. I don't trust the TPMS in my SUV, the Ford TPMS is always perfect.

I look at the ratings on the tire chart from the manufacturer.

Go to the CAT scales and with the vehicle. Look at the axle weights from the scale print ticket.

Adjust accordingly.
