1998 Tire Preassure
I have a 1998 F150 Lariat 4x4 Off-Road 4.6L V8 with P265/70R 17 General Grabbers. The STICKER in the door which is supposed to have the Ford Recomended Tire Pressure is MISSING? FORD... and their dealers in my are can not give me this answer!!!!! Ford records claim to purge at 10 years.
Does anyone out there have this information and/or can tell me where I can get the FACTS?

That is the MAXIMUM that the manufacturer of the tire has specified for safe inflation (without it exploding). It is absolutely NOT the recommended operating tire pressure.
Someone with the same truck should be able to provide the correct information from their truck's label.

You are both CORRECT!
projectSHO89 this is why I posted here, in the hope of finding someone with that truck/sticker. FORD is of NO HELP! Although a salesmen told me he believes I could order a new sticker through a parts department. At the time I had no time to get there. I doubt he is right or FORD would have told me that and coulda/woulda/shoulda had access to the information when I called FORD. The closest I've found was on a used 1996, Reg. Cab with 16 inch wheels. The sticker said P255 R16 @ 29psi Front / 32psi Rear. Seems mighty low for my P265 R17's Without the MFG Sticker or FORD to provide precise info... I'm going with other recommendations of 35psi in all four.
It's funny... General Tire could not answer, nor could their dealers in my area. I posed the question this way.... "If I rolled into your dealership needing four new tires, what tires would you recommend and at what tire pressure would you inflate them, and how/why would you come to that determination?" They had NO ANSWER! So I guess I can't buy my next set of tires from General!
