The ones I replaced looked to be inflated incorrectly judging by the wear patterens. Any help would be appreciated.   Roger M (Ciscowiz) Member Username: Ciscowiz Post Number: 50 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 01:42 pm:    look at the sticker in your drivers door   Jaime (Blueboy) Senior Member Username: Blueboy Post Number: 678 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 02:05 pm:    try this Antonio: "you put a chalk line across the tread and drive straight for a few revolutions of the tire. the chalk should wear evenly with the correct pressure. more chalk worn in the center means too much air. chalk worn near the shoulders mean too little air."

I've tried it before and it works. You can't always go by the sticker on the door. For one thing it says 26psi for the front. I don't know about you, but I don't want to play Ford Explorer with my D1. 26psi is just too low especially with the additional weight of a winch. Changing make or model of the tire can also require adjustment of tire pressure. I run my Michelin XPC at 32/36. My Dunlop MudRovers run better at 38/44.
