Factory Tire Pressures
After reading the article about tires being underinflated, I decided to check the pressures on mine even though it went through shop prep and delivery to me now only 14 days ago.
To my horror, the same thing has occurred again that happened to us last year when we took delivery of our first F-150 SCab.
When I checked the tire pressures, the right front was at 39.5 psi cold and the left front at 42.5 psi cold. The left rear was at 38.5 psi cold and the right rear at 37.5 psi cold. On our SCab last year after we took delivery from the same dealership the pressures all the way around were almost a uniform 45 psi.
Now what I don't understand is don't these morons read at these service departments and maybe factories too? I mean it says right on the side of the Goodyear Wrangler that maximum pressure is 35 psi cold.
I'm going to call the salesman we have worked with the last year on both of these truck deals and find out why its delivered with tires grossly overinflated.(front is supposed to be 30 psi and rear 35 psi) Maybe this is the reason so many of those Firestones blew out. Not just underinflation, but overinflation by these dim bulbs.
Anyone else ever check there tire pressures soon after taking delivery and have the same experience?
