Tire pressure was low thanks to the cold air moving into the the area. Check that tire pressure boys and girls.... Do it for the sake of .25 miles per gallon.. $$$$$ Not too mention tire life....

 

Yeah need to check mine this weekend. TGIF!!!

 

I have mine set at 40 psi and the ride is a lot stiffer and the truck seems to lose traction around corners with bumps. I think from the dealer the pressure was set very low to soften the ride.

Anyone else have similar handling characteristics with 40 psi?

Yea I noticed my dealer set mine to 36, probably hoped it would help da vibe. Reminds me to check it again.

 

Ahhhhh... 35psi all around!

 

I noticed that when i took delivery of my F-150, all 4 tires were at ~30 psi. I'm sure it softens the ride a bit for prospective customers. I was a little surprised how different the truck felt at 35 psi (where it belongs). No complaints. I didn't buy the FX4 to get a "Grandma" car!

 

35-psi and everything is ultra smooth

 

I'm runnin 35 psi....seems fine to me.

 

My dealer had mine at 32. The tire itself says inflate to 50 but the back of the fuel door and the vehicle specs sticker inside the door says to put them at 40. I put them at 40. (These are the 18 inch Goodyears.)

 

I was running the goodyears rt/s at 35psi...bought the best new firestone destination a/t and the tire man said run at 40psi...I did and the difference is just great...Its 40psi for me from now on...

 

35 on both my machines

 

i have mine at 40, was at 35 when i got it, i didn't like the ride or the look at curbside, up to 40 it went and it glides like a dream.

 

Have mine all at 35# for daily driving. This seems to be about right. I run the front to 45 and rear to 55 when I tow my TT.

If I forget to lower after towin it will beat me to death! If I park the TT for a few days I lower it and then pump em up before hookin up again.

 

It's funny, I was just reminded of this very thing--cold weather& lower tire pressure-- after I woke up to flat spots on the way to work yesterday. Felt like I was driving a jeep...

Every one was exactly 6 pounds below normal.

 

Remeber the commercial about the placement of the shocks and the Ford looking so smooth over the mechanical bumps. I feel like the other "bouncing like crazy" truck when I go over bumps with the TP at 40 PSI (which is on the door jam). I have the goodyears. I put the TP to 40 because my I am only getting 11.5 MPG, and thought it might help.
