[QUOTE="Johnny O, post: 1020854, member: 61743"] My "good" tire gauge is a digital unit. When I get a new vehicle I use the door sticker as a starting point and see how they wear and adjust from there. For example when I drove Rangers, the sticker said 30 F and 35 R but that was more for load carrying capacity and me and everyone else on the Ranger boards flipped it and got better handling and tire wear with 35 F and 30 R. If you knew you were going to put a load in it was easy enough to pump up the rears to 35. Both of my Tracs got perfect tire wear with 35 all around. Be advised that some of the tires we use will have a max pressure of 44 on the sidewall, which #1 is too high and #2 higher than the 40 psi that standard valve stems are rated for. When the recommended psi is above 40 then you should use high pressure valve stems. Bud of mine owns a tire shop and tells me this stuff. [/QUOTE]
