Tire pressure

[Kevin - Illinois]

What size tires do you have on your A and what pressure do you run them at?

 

[Special Coupe Frank]

4.50 - 21, run about 32-35 pound, cold.

 

[Aerocraft]

I have four A's on the road, two with 21" (Garfield and Firestone) and two with 19" (Goodyear and Firestone). I keep all the tires at 35 pounds. Gar Williams

 

[Steve Ciccalone]

All the era tire info I've seen for balloons, regardless of manufacturer say 35psi (cold).

The owner's manual says 35, and 40 on the rear of pickups and station wagon. I keep mine at 35. It rides a bit rougher, but takes the corners more securely.

 

[Kevin - Illinois]

I'm running 5.25/5.50 17's at 32 psi cold.

 

[Purdy Swoft]

I use 35 psi on my model A's regardless of tire size

 

[Frank Nemo]

I run 19" Goodyears at 35psi cold.

 

[vinepro]

The answer must be 35 psi. we all agree

 

[cars56]

I run 19" Firestones at 35lbs

 

[cars56]

19s 34 cold

 

[1931 flamingo]

19's, ck'd mine y/day 1980's air at about 26. I know most are running 34'35. I'm afraid to add air and screw something up.

[Scott NY]

19" firestones @ 35lbs

1931 Flamingo,

You are making your steering harder and will get more sway running your tires that low a pressure.

I think you will do more damage running them low instead of 35 PSI cold.

Just my thought, do as you please.

[John LaVoy]

On the roadster it is 19" and 32 pounds, on the phaeton it is 21" and 32 pounds, on the sedan it is 21" and 35 in the front and 40 in the rear.

 

[Jack '29 Sport Coupe]

Firestone 21" ~ 35 ~ cold

Coker's web site lists the max pressure for their "Firestone" 19 Inch Tires as 32 psi. (http://store.cokertire.com/475-500-19-firestone-blackwall.html)

The same is true for their "BF Goodrich" Tires. (http://store.cokertire.com/475-500-19-b-f-goodrich-blackwall.html)

They have the same max pressures for their 21 inch tires for both BF Goodrich and Firestone.
