Question:

Hi,  I own a 1997 Explorer 4X4 XLT with the 15 inch all terrain Firestone tires.  I would like to know what tire pressure is recomended.  The owner manual recomends 27 lbs while the door sticker recomends 35 lbs.  Anyone have any comments?  Thanks.

Mine came from the dealer with between 39 and 41 psi.  The max cold pressure on the side of the tire (16 inch on Eddie Bauer) says 35 psi. Some posts suggest going to low 20’s for a smoother ride.

Response:

I have a ‘98 Sport 2 wheel drive and for the first few months ran with 33-34 lbs of pressure in my Firestone Firehawk SS-10 255/70X15s. The sticker on the door recommends 26 lbs for the stock Firestone 235/75X15s. I just today lowered the pressure to 28 and got a noticibly more comfortable ride. I noticed no difference in steering response and have no idea if the tires would wear sooner.

Response:

Around 28-30 psi is best for on road use. When I go off-road I deflate the rear tires to 23 psi, and the fronts to 21psi – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> Hi,  I own a 1997 Explorer 4X4 XLT with the 15 inch all terrain Firestone > tires.  I would like to know what tire pressure is recomended.  The owner > manual recomends 27 lbs while the door sticker recomends 35 lbs.

Response:

I reduced my pressure on the 255/70/16 to 28 from 30 and noticed an improved ride.  Door says 30. Jeff W. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – >Around 28-30 psi is best for on road use.

Response:

Lowering the pressure will make the tires wear differently (maybe faster) but another thing is that you gas mileage will get increasingly worse as you lower you air pressure (more rolling resistance)  We keep our Explorer (with light truck tires) at 36.  At least keep it at the door recommended pressure.                                                 Aaron – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > I have a ‘98 Sport 2 wheel drive and for the first few months ran with 33-34 > lbs of pressure in my Firestone Firehawk SS-10 255/70X15s.

My 89 S15 4×4 4.3 is rated at 35psi. that is for P205 75 15 tires. I run 215s and run about 30psi. Wears OK and smoother than with 35.

Now that I’ve used it, I wouldn’t want anything else.  I love the look of the unit, looks a lot nicer than the analog that also came in the trucks.  I don’t know what I’d do if I ever wanted a new truck, maybe keep this as a "project"??… – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > Same here, nix the digital dash– which I wouldn’t want anyway. > | I guess mine doesn’t have the Tahoe package then.

FYI, my 89 S-10 Blazer 4X4 is rated at 4800 pounds GVW. I don’t think the 91 would be too different. I’ve got the 4.3 and Tahoe package.

probably, because the barely readable door sticker on my ‘90 S-10 Blazer is also 35 psi.

Response:

Great, thanks for the info. I’ll probably set it at about 34 psi and leave it there. Too many other little (and big) problems to worry about right now. Thanks again.

Response:

     On the side of the tire you will find a section that says something to the effect for example "cold psi 35" This means that the max tire pressure for the tire when it is cold is 35psi. From there you can adjust the tire pressure lower for the ride you want. It will also say the weight in Lbs. each tire can take at full pressure. So, you take the weight each tire can take and multiply it by 4 and then compare it to the weight of the vehicle with any other weight (which would the number of person and anything you would be carrying, like on a trip) that is extra. This gives you an idea if you are to heavy for the tires that are on the Jimmy. I doubt you will ever see the point that you are over loaded, I just wanted to give you a reason this is on the tire. If you find, like I think you will that you not even close then you can run less tire pressure to give a more comfortable ride. For a 2 wheel drive Jimmy I would guess that 35psi is the max tire pressure, but please make sure to check the side of the tire. Hope this helps. Regards, Chuck

Response:

Thanks for the tips. Offhand I think it does say 35 psi max on the sidewall. I’m not sure of the weight of this thing, so what would be a reasonable ballpark figure for the tire pressure?

I believe your GVW (Gross vehicle weight) is around 6200Lbs. off the top of my head. This is not the actual weight of your Jimmy, it is a figure used that means you weight should not go over this number including Jimmy, people, trailer tongue weight and any other stuff you want to put in. Actually your Jimmy probably weighs around 4500-5000Lbs. on a scale. Your tires are probably rated 1750 a piece at 35 psi. This would be if your running a 15" tire. With a lot of the newer stuff they are running a 16" tire which holds more weight generally. Sorry for the long explanation, but I want you to be aware of everything since I am only taking a guess on what type and size of tire. Now assuming it is 35psi is the max pressure, I would suggest when it is not pulling or loaded up with stuff a pressure of 32psi. This should give you a nice comfortable ride. One down fall is you might find you lose a hair in gas mileage, because when you air down tires it puts more of the tire on the ground which creates more drag. So, if you like the ride at 35psi feel free to leave it there. One last thing if you do not already know this, if your tires are balanced and your front-end aligned, one way to tell in your running to much or to little pressure is if the tire starts wearing only in the center, then it is to much. If it starts wearing on the outside treads only, then your running to little. One of the only and best ways to get a good ride and tire wear is just to experiment with the pressure. Remember though never take it above whatever the max pressure at cold is stated on the tire. I also would probably never go below 28psi. This is just a personal opinion as I like a little stiffer tire for better handling. Hope this helps and enjoy. Regards, Chuck

What does the sticker in the door say? 32 cold is typical. Remember you have to account for heat expansion. You don’t want to put 40 cold and have them heat above 44 and possibly blow at high speed. Besides, they’d run real rough at that pressure. Mike

Response:

Dear Ronik, It depend on the weight of you car.  You can find the recommeded tires pressure in a label which stick on you car. (Normally, it is on your car front door).

read the tag inside the drivers door jamb to be sure.  that is from the manufacturer and assuming you are using NORMAL tire size, et al…this number should be correct.  Or call your local TDS tire center or similar…that have the correct pressures. kevin
