Ford F-250 Super Duty Tire Pressure

It is important to maintain proper tire pressure for Ford F-250 Super Duty tires.

Check Ford F-250 Super Duty tire pressure regularly, and monitor Ford F-250 Super Duty tire inflation levels to avoid overinflated or underinflated tires.

Keep in mind that tire inflation value listed on tire sidewall is a maximum tire pressure the tire can be inflated to, and not a recommended tire pressure for Ford F-250 Super Duty.

Tires with the same load index, regardless of tire size, may carry the same load, but not always, and they may require substantially different inflation pressures. Tire load index may not be used independently to determine replacement tire acceptability for load capacity. An equal or greater load index does not always correspond to equal or greater load capacity at all inflation pressure settings.

Always refer to the Ford F-250 Super Duty owner’s manual for any specific safety advice regarding the application of replacement tires.
