Is my car just dirty or is it really acting up

@Zack12
Same here. It happened to me this week. I filled the tires to 35 PSI, but the warning wouldn’t go away. After a while, it cleared, even though the PSI was accurate.

I’ll give it a try, though the max PSI is 34. Maybe they’re using metric PSI.

Your tires should be filled according to the sticker in your door. It’s based on factors like the car’s curb weight, handling, and efficiency. Overfilling or underfilling can both be bad for your tires. If you don’t follow the sticker’s guidance, your tires may wear unevenly.

The cold PSI is 33, but when the tires warm up, it’ll be 35-36 PSI. So, after driving for a bit, 34-35 PSI should be enough. Just keep an eye on temperature changes.

Exactly. The PSI listed is for cold tires. You measure and fill them when they’re cold. That means they haven’t been driven for at least 3 hours, or if they were, it’s only been less than a mile. Don’t worry about temperature changes affecting the PSI. It’s already taken into account. You can top them off if the weather changes, though.

True, true.

Glad this isn’t a Ford page. I’ll give it a shot.

Open your driver’s side door. Check what the recommended tire pressure is on the sticker inside the door frame.
