How much tire pressure should be in the tires of 1988 ford escort?

Answer 1

Should be a label on either the door jambs or the fuel filler door Its not on the fule door but the door jamp, drivers side I believe, bbut maybe the other. If the door jamb label is missing (from body work or something) then what it says is 30 psi all the way around. However, rememeber, that is based on the OEM tire size on the OEM 1988 GT Alloy Wheels which is 195-60-R15 87T. If you change that equipment (or it has been changed) then a different pressure may be called for. I personally tend to inflate a pound or two more than the 30 as I got just as good wear and traction and performace (depending on tire brand and quailty, it varies greatly) but also a little better mileage and less time being under-inflated when I didn't check it enough. Plus, a couple extra PSI can really make the difference of not harming the rims or the tire side walls (when you hit a pot hole or whatever) when you are running low profile tires which is what the 60 refers to (65 and lower tend to be considere low profile and oit gos pretty low, down to even 35 and 40 for some real high perfomace super wide tires.
