Cold 35 psi on a Tudor, 4.75/5.00/19, Ford spec. Station wagons ( heavier car hauling ) 40 psi
My last outing at a stop the tires looked low so I added air without a pressure gauge, when I got back I checked the pressure and it was 50psi, let some out to 35 psi hot. So now that it's cool I bet it's about 30 psi cold.
On a modern of mine the door sticker said 35 psi cold- 39 psi hot, if you drive to a service station to add air I would go 4-5 psi higher because now the tires are hotter. My dad's truck had 6 ply tires and we keep them at 45 psi because of over loading it, leave the warehouse with 24 window a/c the tires looked like radials and we put 60 psi in them, poor truck got abused. On the way back home dad said you know what your going to be doing for the next week, yep installing window a/c's.
