How much air should be in the tires of a Ford Explorer?

The recommended tire pressure for a Ford Explorer isn't a single number. It varies depending on the year of the Explorer, the specific tire size fitted, and whether you're checking the tires when they're cold (best practice) or hot.

To find the correct tire pressure for YOUR Ford Explorer:

1. Check the sticker on your driver's side doorjamb: This sticker will list the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle. This is the most reliable source.

2. Check your owner's manual: The owner's manual will also specify the recommended tire pressure.

3. Check the tire sidewall: The tire sidewall will indicate the maximum pressure the tire can handle, but this is *not* necessarily the recommended pressure for your vehicle. Never inflate your tires beyond the maximum pressure indicated on the sidewall.

Do not rely on a generic answer. Using the wrong tire pressure can affect your vehicle's handling, fuel economy, and tire wear. Always check the sources listed above to find the correct pressure for your specific Ford Explorer.
