The P-Word had to do with me mentioning getting the air pressure right for decent handling and gas mileage here in CA... because of the possibility of eight dollar gas. It will be interesting to see if you get to read this.

Yes... I find it "interesting" that on a non-SAS Badlands it says 39, but on a 4-door OBX (daughters) with 32s it says 35... which is the same as my Base 2Dr which assumes the original 30s that it also says 35. Makes you wonder how they decide all of these.

SWAMP2... I read your tire measurement data, but you are talking about 37" tires. I would think somewhere you'd have to factor in the carry-capacity (I'm calling it that) of the tires. Surely a 37" tire can carry more weight than a 32" tire with the same PSI, and therefore I'd assume that what...

I was at 39, now trying 37. I'm retired also. I've got some time for experimenting. ST710... you make me laugh. DALOLA -- you must have been an engineer! Good methodology. I think I'll try the chalk or something like GBUB described. Thanks for all the help!

They have one of these at the Roseville CA Ford dealer in classic red & white. I think the asking price is $125,000. So... what's a little inflation?

My concern was actually handling and braking rather than gas MPG. I like getting 25 MPG, but I'm more concerned about making it through (in one piece) our ever-changing construction in Sacramento. The accident rate through town must have gone up like 100% and I just don't want one of those...

In regard to... "why did I buy a Bronco if I was concerned about gas prices?" Because I like my Bronco, and I'm not about to change my lifestyle just because the folks in power can't figure out that they need the refineries in this state, rather than treating them like just another...

Yes... your info helps a lot. I will start at 35 and maybe air-down to 32 and see how it feels. Thanks for the info ShadowFax. I think I have experienced the same oversteer @ 39.

I guess I'll have to take the ole 2-door out on a country road and see (braking & handling). I'm more concerned about braking & handling here in construction and pothole ridden Northern California where the drivers like to tailgate, and lucky to have a license. I had to hard-brake a couple of...

Yes... I understand that (in regard to tire wear -- IF the tire tread isn't all on the ground (i.e. rounded... like many big tires on 4x4 trucks I've followed on the freeway). The question is (then) -- does 39 produce that condition... which would answer my question i.e. they are over-inflated...

Summary Of This Thread As of 11/11/2025: a) Even though door sticker says 35 on a Base/OBX without SAS it seems like most folks on the thread thought you could go +- 5 lbs without problems. Test drive required. b) Using the chalk test (i.e. coat the bottom of a tread with chalk, take it for...

I put OBX 32s on my 2-Door 2022 Base. Bought some OBX tires/rim takeoffs for $700. Its a V6/auto, but I figured with the 3.73 offered on OBX (if you don't upgrade rear-end) it would be just fine... and it is. I even got 25mpg yesterday on a 100 mile highway trip. I also figured since Ford...

Where do you see these cracks on your 2Dr? Towards the back, mid-way, or towards the front of the back window. I checked mine a few days ago and so far so good. Sept. 2022 build... on the Bronco.

With all the reports of catastrophic outcomes flat-towing... I would never flat-tow my Bronco... but then I don't gamble much with my money either. Options: 1. A trailer... $4000-???? 2. Find an old 4 cyl Wrangler (light & fun)... under $10K. Like 2002/03/04. I love my Bronco... but wish...

I don't drive that much.... 2022 2Dr Base V6/auto. Maybe a 100-200 per week. If I haven't driven in a while (a week) I will put a trickle charger on it that understands AGM batteries. I had the same problem with a 2001 Mustang. The newer cars just seem to draw current all the time, and the...

Very interested in the results and total cost!

Well... maybe this is a heads up for Ford! After all... the traction control is really just controlled by a computer program that can be modified (hopefully). FORD! FIX IT!

If you have everything in writing... I'd consider going to small claims court. It sure couldn't hurt if no other options are available. Just looking at a few states... Wisconsin=$10,000 max, California=$12,000 max, and Texas = $20,000 max.

Is there any way traction-control can be left on in 4-low?

Since we're on the subject... can anyone tell me how traction-control (in functionality) differs from limited-slip differential functionality? They seem to provide the same thing via different means. One with sensors and brakes (traction-control), and the other via the "limited slip"...
