Question What pressure for Sport/STX 275/60's?

What does the door label say on your trucks? Mine came stock with 235/70/16's, so I'm wondering what pressure I'm supposed to be running? Is there any difference from the 235's? I now have the 17x7.5 wheels with the 275/60/17's. I am running what "my" door label says, but while it rides like a Lincoln, it also tends to squeal the front tires when I turn too quickly. I think the pressure should be higher?,,,,98

At least my tires won't wear out until I can correct it. I have driven the truck only about 15 miles in the last four weeks. Everything you could want is within walking distance in downtown Philly.

Well, I'm not sure if a 265/70 and a 275/60 would run the same pressure? I just wanted to get the factory given numbers on the door label of a 97-02 sport or stx model 4x2. That is higher than mine says, so maybe that's close?? Mine has the standard 29/32, and I don't know if that's enough. The new tires need to last as long as they can, even though they have an 80k treadwear warranty.,,,,98

I'm just assuming you have the 265/70?

My '01 Scab Sport came with P275/60/17 BFG. The door says 26# front /32# rear. I usually run them at 30# & 35# with no problem at 16K so far.

Thumbs up

Hmmm. That low eh? Guess I'll just run 35 in them like I did on the previous tires. They wore okay, and handling was decent. I actually ran 40 for most of a year with no trouble. It handled well, but just a little harsh on the bumps. Thanks for the info, ChiDiver!~,,,,98
