What is the correct tire pressure for a ford van?

Answer 1

Your correct tire pressure will vary based on the type of van, type of tires, road conditions and load in your van. The best place to start is on the label inside the driver's side door. It will list a GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) for your front and rear axle, along with the proper tire size and pressure for each axle.

Your ideal tire pressure is not the same as the maximum tire pressure, and simply filling the tires to maximum pressure can increase your risk of accident on the road. This is especially risky in large passenger vans, as their high ride height puts them at higher risk for rollover.

Some vans have different recommended pressure for the front and rear axle. You may also need to vary your pressure based on the load you're carrying. With an empty back, you may have trouble getting adequate traction if you keep the pressure at the highest recommended. On the other hand with a fully loaded van you will really need that extra pressure to keep the tires from sagging and wearing thin.
