2012 F-250 Gasser tire PSI

I'd look for a TPMS tool.

A good place to start is to reference the appropriate tire inflation chart to ensure your tire pressure is safe for the load.

Sample Michelin Inflation Chart

I have not run through the procedure myself on my F-150, but here is the procedure I found referenced. I believe you will find this in the manual, but the manual neglects to mention you need a tool to identify each tire. Here is a link with the procedure.

2012 F-250 TPMS Training

And lastly, here is the tool required to help train the tires.

ATEQ Tire Training Tool

As stated above I have not done this procedure myself on my truck, I had just done similar research. Please do your own homework to satisfy yourself that this will work for you. You may want to check with a local tire shop and they may help you out.

They make inflation charts for a reason. Seems to me you inflate to the load you are carrying. A buddy of mine was a fleet manager for 30 years and did the same thing on their rigs.

Good luck to you,

Here's a thread on 350 rough ride.

Advanced search, keyword= ride, subject only, tow vehicles.

About the only way I know to help the ride is to install Link air ride or eq. Get rid of the leafs.

It is a truck...


what size tires? You know the recommended rim width range for 'that' tire?

What type of tire? Brand, model, tread

What wheels? OEM? After market and if so, what is the rim width

What model Bilstein?

Suspension lifted or any other suspension mods?


Tires are part of the spring package holding up weight. Tires have many other
duties too


I don't recommend ever airing down an LT load range E down below 65PSI...unless
going off roading and NOT going to go above 35 MPH

The TPS is mandated due to Ford, Firestone and the people (owners) who don't
understand tire pressure at the other end of the bell curve...the extreme end
that is the day Mr Murphy crosses you path.

For "Ride Quality" purposes, Ford changed their glove box tire pressure
recommendation by lowering it. One too many deaths from accidents caused by too
low tire pressure had the government stip in all the while Ford was pointing
fingers at Firestone and Firestone point fingers at Ford.


What pressures do you tow at? That is why the comment of having to reprogram
from the too low PSI to the proper towing PSI



"Ride Quality" is best with a narrower rim on 'that' tires recommended rim width range

"Performance" is best with the wider rim on 'that' tires recommended rim
width range...but then I wasn't happy. As if drove like a car and
reduced response. Could no longer 'thread the needle'...


I run my LT265/75R16E's at 80PSI when towing. Front and Rear. When
used as a 'car' run the same and know it is a truck. I also drive
very, very hard...because I enjoy driving hard.

The 'ex' didn't like it and did drop it down to 65PSI front and 70PSI rear

I have never heard that the Ford TPMS can be adjusted.

I run 65 in mine and yes it rides like a tank. My Bilsteins helped marginally unloaded and quite a bit loaded. After 5 years and 80K miles you could say we are used to it.

Not from actual experience, but yes, that is my understanding after talking with my dealer.

Well Scott, I think if you can get by running 65 all around, and satisfy the TPMS, that is about as good as it gets.

AFAIK, the TPMS can be adjusted, but you would have to do so, every time you towed, and again non towing.

Jerry,
Thanks for the reply. One question though. If I reprogram to accept a lower psi, lets say 55, it will activate when I raise the psi say 10-15psi to 65-70 for towing?
