stock tire psi

[zetec herman]

I've searched and cannot find the answer. Checked the driver's door, the manual, and the site. I cannot seem to find the correct tire pressure for standard 14" tires. I've been running 35 in all 4.

32 is what is spec'd. Because of my crappy tires on my 96. I run their max which is 35.

[zetec herman]

I was thinking 32.

Thanks


However I put two bags of sand in the trunk (70 pounds on each side). Should more or less air be in tires with this weight?
I have 35 in now.

Why would you put sand in the back. Id hope not for traction.....

[zetec herman]

yeah for traction.

I've had a few too many close calls with skids in the winter. Almost hit a guardrail after the last skid i had without the weight.

A few in the middle of intersections.

Haven't had any problems with the weight, just without.

Or just keep a full gas tank But, I've always thought weight in the trunk of a FWD would counterbalance wat needs to be in the front

Weight in the back won't help with traction (trying to get up a hill or something), but it will do good things if you have a habit of sliding your back end around corners.

In the end, you're better off loosing the weight and getting some snow tires for the back that have good lateral stability (many snow tires seem to lack this).

if your going to put on snow tires put on 4 of them. Your only going to get the full benefit of snow tires with a full set.

Um...

Your car is a front wheel drive. If you want added traction, you would need to take the bags of sand out of your trunk and somehow affix them to you hood.
