dutchkev Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 i was told you need more pressure on the front as thats where the engine is/breaking comes from/stearing is done?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escort_Kid Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 i was told you need more pressure on the front as thats where the engine is/breaking comes from/stearing is done?? Not always. On the pressure chart at work sometimes the pressures front and back are the same, but your right, sometimes they are slightly more at the front usually 2-4 psi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwwd Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I use 33 psi all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Depends on lots of factors such as how Ford balanced the car,how much cargo ur carrying,how u plan on driving and how much grip u want,and how long u want ur tyres to last. Lower pressure = more grip and lower tyre life,Higher pressure = less grip but tyres last longer. Have more pressure in the front so the car handles more predictably. I normally use 32/32 on escorts, my volvo is on 37/37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
