sahar Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Im confused as to what amount of air my tyres need. The handbook says about 44 psi, but ford dealer man says maybe 38 psi or more. My tyres that came with the car are " 195 / 60R 16C " I dont want to damage my tyres or my safety by putting in the wrong air pressure. Anyone have the same size tyres ? muchos gracis Quote
morticiaskeeper Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Have a look inside the fuel fill flap, it probably says there. from memory (it's raining outside) 38psi light load 44psi heavy load Quote
mumof4 Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Mine are 42 front 38 rear! :angry: ..according to my handbook and tyre pressure chart which is on my A pillar and not my filler cap! :blink: Quote
Guest MATT Posted May 18, 2006 Report Posted May 18, 2006 if the car isnt towing anything, and isnt too heavy loaded, my tyres have 42PSI in the front, and 38PSI in the rear. when heavy, the tyres are well pumped up lol 42+ in my galaxy, open the drivers door, and look at the bottom left of the door frame, there's a sticker with all information on it. i will have to check my tyre type later MATT Quote
NikpV Posted May 18, 2006 Report Posted May 18, 2006 if the car isnt towing anything, and isnt too heavy loaded, my tyres have 42PSI in the front, and 38PSI in the rear same with us Quote
sahar Posted May 18, 2006 Author Report Posted May 18, 2006 Thanks to all of you for all the advice, I shall check for this sticker which I didnt notice earlier - maybe I wasn't looking in the right place. :D Muchos gracis Quote
sahar Posted May 22, 2006 Author Report Posted May 22, 2006 morticiaskeeper: many thanks, you were right. On my model , LX, 2002, the correct tyre pressues are listed on the inside of the fuel fill flap. Result :D Quote
Guest MATT jr Posted May 22, 2006 Report Posted May 22, 2006 funny how they keep making small changes - moving a sticker!!? MJR Quote
mumof4 Posted May 22, 2006 Report Posted May 22, 2006 Is the tyre pressure supposed to be on the filler cap then??? Mine says DIESEL ONLY on it!!pmsl Quote
Guest MATT jr Posted May 22, 2006 Report Posted May 22, 2006 lol ours says - diesel - check engine oil every 600 miles, blah blah. gives you summet read when your re-fueling - less scary than watching the price roll fly round MJR Quote
