The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Tire pressure-50' Crestliner

I believe the sticker on the inside of the glove box door in my '51 club coupe as well as the owners manual calls for 28 psi front and 24 psi rear for 6.70X15 tires. I may be wrong on the exact numbers, but do remember very well that I was surprised at how low it was. Something to remember is that car manufacturers quote tire pressures that produce the best ride, while tire manufacturers quote pressures the produce the longest tire wear. Given the fact that tire manufacturing techniques and materials may have changed since 1950, I believe that using the tire manufacturer's recommended pressure shown on the sidewall of the tire is the best way to go.
