Re: 1950 Crestliner-Ford
What kind and size are your tires? Radial or bias? It makes a difference.

Pressure should also be in numbers on the sidewall.

Re: 1950 Crestliner-Ford
Yes, the MAX Pressure will be listed on the tires sidewall...
If they are radial tires, you could run 3 to 5 pounds less than the Max listed. Don't go by your old car owners manual recommendation on pressure, as tires, and the pressure they need, has changed a lot over the years. Don't run Radial tires too low on pressure though, they don't like that. Below is an article about under inflated tires. =========================== Driving on under-inflated tires is dangerous. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, almost 1/3 of passenger cars, light trucks and SUVs are being driven with at least one under-inflated tire. Under-inflation is one of the leading causes of tire failure. If tire pressure is too low, too much of the tire’s surface area touches the road, which increases friction. Increased friction can cause the tires to overheat, which can lead to premature wear, tread separation and blowouts. .

Re: 1950 Crestliner-Ford
On my 51 Coupe I'm running 6.70x15 Coker bias ply's. According to the glove box tag, front should be at 24psi and the rear at 21psi. That's what I have it at and it drives very well. Douglas
