Ford Explorer Tire Pressure

Published by pressure on

The Ford Explorer is a reliable and powerful SUV, but it must be maintained on a regular basis to keep it running at its best. One area in particular that requires attention is the tire pressure. Low tire pressure can affect how your Ford Explorer handles, as well as reducing fuel efficiency and increasing wear on the tires over time.

It’s recommended that you check and adjust your Ford Escape’s tire pressure regularly according to the manufacturer’s specifications in order to ensure optimal performance from your vehicle. You can save money in the long run by taking a few moments out of your day to check and maintain your tire pressure for your Ford Explorer – it really does make a difference.

The correct tire pressure for a Ford Explorer varies depending on the tire size and year of purchase. The recommended tire pressure ranges from 33P/2.27B/227K to 36P/2.48B/248K.

To determine the correct tire pressure for your specific Ford Explorer, you need to consider the production year and tire specifications. The vehicle is available in eleven different trim levels and has ten stock tire sizes.

To find the correct tire pressure, you can refer to the owner’s manual or the tire information placard located on the driver’s side door jamb or inside the glove box. The tire information placard provides the recommended tire size, load capacity, and inflation pressure for both the front and rear tires.

It is important to check the tire pressure regularly and maintain the recommended pressure to ensure proper handling, fuel efficiency, and tire life. Overinflated or underinflated tires can negatively impact the vehicle’s performance and safety.

Units of pressure
  • PSI – pounds per square inch (lbf/in2). 10 psi = 68.95 kPa/0.6895 bar
  • BAR – one bar nearly equal to one atmosphere. 1 bar = 100 kPa/14.504 psi
  • KPA – kilopascals is a metric unit of pressure. 100 kPa = 1 bar/14.504 psi
