Tyre pressure on Auto (2WD)

[ukmicro]

does anyone know what the tyre pressures should be on the std tyres?

It's on the sticker when you open the driver's door.
If memory serves me it's 1.9~2.1 BAR or 27.5~30.5 PSI

Cheers , I thought I would ask before I collect it, as I have a 120 mile drive home.

Memory was slightly off:
It's 2.0~3.0 BAR [29~43 PSI] with factory 145R12 LT 6ply.
I would'nt go more than 2.2~2.4 BAR [35 PSI] if running empty or if unsure if you have the LT tires.

or, you could just look at the sidewall of the tire :D

Always the best option.
The sticker is only for whichever tire came stock.Pretty safe to assume that after several thousand KM and 10-15 years,tires are not original.:rolleyes:

The tires may not be the 'original' tires from when the truck was new, but are probably the same size tires as the factory oem. So long as the size is the same, you can probably go with the recommended tire pressure on the truck.
As for what the tires say on the sidewall, well, that isn't always but so useful seeing how the max pressure doesn't always reflect what pressure those particular tires need to be on your vehicle.
My Dodge's tires have a max psi of 80psi, but the truck calls for 50psi front, 70psi rear.

One of my trucks came from Japan with a 'courier tire'.I believe it was a 6 ply,and also had a higher rating for PSI.
Remember the rating on the tire is at max weight,also on the tire right after the PSI.
When I have my 1 ton loaded,I will run at max,and when not I will drop to 60 in the rear.
