A quick tire pressure question for 89 ranger

I finally have the correct sized wheels and round tires for The Miracle.


What is the factory tire pressure for the 215/75 R15?

Tire pressure is drivers choice, within limits :)

28 to 38 psi is usual range

Higher pressure is better for MPG but stiffer ride and less traction
Lower pressure gives better ride and traction but lower MPG

Look on Drivers door back edge for the Factory label, it will have factory tire size and recommended pressure
Your size above lists 35psi cold

If you find that too stiff drop it down to 32psi, then 30psi as you see fit

Thank you, my door sticker is long gone.
