Hi from Norway.....I have an Ford Excursion Limited 2002. I have a question about pressure inthe tires.I have all terain tires 265,175,16. anyone know how much pressure shall Iput in them?regards...Tor Elling.

There should be a sticker on the door frame of the drivers door.Lists the tire pressure, and GVW for the vehicle. Unless the tiresare after market, or specialty tires, the listed PSI is what the Mfg.recomends.Fred

Most of the time.

Absolutely. If I was going on a trip with a light load like just the extra diesel onboard, I would probably reduce the back down to 38 - 40 psi. Don't forget, I'm carrying a diesel on the front tires. I'd say I a bit heavier in the front than you.

35 psi for that size tire on my pickup. Yours may differ. You could increase pressure a few lbs for greater tire longetivity, but ride quality would suffer. It's always a trade off. I'd just go by the sticker on the door post, as that is what Ford has determined will give you the best combination of ride quality, handling and tire wear for a "normally" loaded vehicle.

My '99 Z71 with 41k miles still has it's original Firestone Wilderness tires and they appear to have more than half of their tread left. Unfortunately, I imagine Firestone is too broke to pay me for a testimonial. :/

Well, BFG does not give a wear guarantee on the All Terrain's because they assume you may be doing a bit of off-roaming with them. Most people I know figure, if they get anything over 40K to 50K out of a set, they have done well.
