What is the correct tire pressure for a 2001 Ford Windstar LX station wagon?

You won't find a single "correct" tire pressure for a 2001 Ford Windstar LX. The correct tire pressure depends on several factors, most importantly the size of your tires.

To find the correct tire pressure, you need to check two places:

1. The sticker on the driver's side doorjamb: This sticker will list the recommended tire pressure for your specific vehicle and tire size. This is the most reliable source. It will likely specify pressures for both the front and rear tires, and potentially different pressures depending on whether the vehicle is loaded or not.

2. The sidewall of your tires: The tire sidewall will have information including the maximum pressure for that specific tire. This is the *maximum* pressure, not necessarily the recommended pressure; always defer to the sticker on the doorjamb first.

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 sticker on your driver's side doorjamb and the sidewall of your tires for the correct inflation pressure.
