Tire pressure warning
Low tire pressure warning came on. I have a 2015 Ford F250 I bought 2 months ago.I have 52 plus PSI in the tires. The spare is hard but I am not able to check pressure on it without taking it down. Should the warning be on at 52 PSI?

Check the door sticker to see where tires should be at. On mine it's 60psi front and 65psi rear. The spare does not contain a sensor so it would have to be one of the 4 mounted tires. Not sure at what PSI the system sends an alert but, your definitely below recommended PSI. Might check the rear tires first.....

Tire pressure warning
Come to find out my tires are Goodyear C rated and not E rated. 50 psi is max on these tires. I bought the truck used and they may have switched out the tires before they traded it in. What I get for buying used. :-)
Is there anyway to lower the setting on tire pressure warning?

if you are going to "WORK" the truck.. upgrade the tires...
No, you can not change the value of the tire pressure warning system...
I got my truck "USED" and it had replacement "E" tires... as I got a work fleet/lease truck...

Actually you can change the setting but it requires a laptop, FORSCAN, and a plugin to the OBDII port.
Click here for more info -> FORSCAN Thread provided it will work on a 2015.
Yeah I'd upgrade the tires however but even with "E" 60/80 psi is too much. I run 50/70 and hope to lower that once I get the forscan set up.

Thanks sounds like a plan 
I continued on my way a couple hundred miles and did a walk around a few times.... another false alarm it seems.
I just got back but haven't actually put a gauge on any of them yet.
the thing is I run plenty of air pressure it's not like I'm running right at the edge. So....idk.

Once the TPMS warning light illuminates, you may need to set cold tire pressures at/above factory recommendations to turn off the light, and you may also have to drive a short distance to activate the sensors. Once the light is off, then you can drop the tire pressures a bit.
The actual trigger value appears to vary by truck model, tire size, and configuration. Our truck’s factory pressure specs are 55F/80R, but, for driving around lightly loaded, I have the tires set at 50F/65R cold with no apparent TPMS issues.
