Satsquatch vs territory MT PSI

[stbanning]

Not sure if this had been discussed someplace else but I was looking at the tire door sticker on a few pics that had been posted and compared them to tire rack and the goodyear website. The 315/70/17 territory MT is rated 35 psi max pressure on their website and the door sticker recommends running 39 psi. I must be missing something...??

Tire manufacturer's specs will (almost) always differ from the vehicle manufacturer's. Use Ford's suggestion, not Goodyear's.

Ford's is based on gaining the highest possible gas mileage

While I understand optimum pressure for on road and off road use... a factory tire pressure should never exceed tire pressure max listed by tire manufacturers spec. I do not belive that I have ever seen a factory recommended pressure exceed tire manufacturers max pressure. If max pressure from tire company is listed as 50 psi you would go by ford's recommendation to run 35 front and 38 rear as an example. Running a little less or more will change wear patterns on tire but not exceed max listed pressure

The territory's on the Bronco may be a custom Ford spec that differs in ratings from the tire you're looking at online. Check the tire sidewall

What does it say on the side of the actual tire? The max pressure will be printed on the tire.

I do not have access to one.. this is a picture from this forum. I haven't seen a squatch in person they only brought 2 through early this year and neither had squatch. Seems like it's a oversight.

Just took picture of the spare tire on my Badland w/ 35"
I am actually not so sure what that means by up to 10 psi additional means exactly.. maybe 35psi + 10?

Go by what’s on the tire. The tire spec on a website can change dozens of times or be loaded incorrectly. The molded in spec on the tire is what the spec was when the tire was manufactured.
