Remember that a tire can lose up to half of its air pressure without appearing flat. Every day before you drive, check your tires. If one looks lower than the others, use a tire gauge to check pressure of all tires and adjust if required. 221 2010 F-250/350/450/550 (f23) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing - 2010 Ford F350 Super Duty Regular Cab | Owner Guide 2nd Printing - Page 222
or lightly applying the brakes. The shimmy will cease as the vehicle speed decreases. Maximum Permissible Inflation Pressure is the tire manufacturer's maximum permissible pressure and/or the pressure at which the maximum load can be carried by the tire. This pressure is normally 222 2010 F-250/350 - 2010 Ford F350 Super Duty Regular Cab | Owner Guide 2nd Printing - Page 223
at the higher of the front and rear inflation pressure as shown on the Tire Label. 6.
