Friends,

I have a question regarding tyre pressure. As per FORD recommendation the Tyre pressure should be maintained as 30 PSI (both front and rear Tyre) while carrying 3 - 4 adults and luggage in the boot and the same is to be maintained as 35/40 PSI (front/rear) while carrying 4-5 adults with luggage in the boot. So guys are you changing the tyre pressure as per the load on the car?

am maintaining 33 on all four wheels and 35 on spare wheel

in my previous car i used to maintain normal recommended pressure for two or three occupants and if 5 are traveling with full load then i used to increase the tire pressure as mentioned below the drive door for max load

once I tried 33 psi. But while driving alone I felt lil bit of bumpiness. I think 31 to 32 psi will be enough for 4 adults and one kid.

Regarding headlamps I am also planning to get those philips bulbs

I mostly maintain as recommended by Ford and at 30psi the car feels very well glued to the road!

hi vicky 30 PSI is perfect for 3 - 4 adults. But if you see the sticker at the bottom of the B pillar (driver side) it says 35/40 PSI (front/rear) for 4 - 5 adults with luggage.
