Firestone Truck Tire Pressure Chart

The Firestone Truck Tire Pressure Chart shows the recommended cold inflation pressure (PSI) based on tire size, load range, axle load, and whether the tire is used in a single or dual configuration. Using the correct pressure improves tire life, fuel economy, and vehicle safety.

Recommended pressure depends on tire size, load, and application. Most Firestone commercial truck tires operate between 80 and 130 PSI under normal highway service. Always use the official load and inflation table rather than inflating every tire to the maximum sidewall pressure.

Source: The load and inflation pressure data presented in the tables below are based on the Firestone Truck Tire Data Book 2024, Version 24.1. The tables show tire load limits at various cold inflation pressures for the applicable tire sizes and configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended Firestone truck tire pressure?

There is no single pressure that applies to every Firestone truck tire. The correct cold inflation pressure depends on tire size, load rating, Single or Dual configuration, and actual axle load. Always use the applicable Firestone load and inflation table.

Does higher tire pressure mean a truck tire can carry more weight?

Generally, the load capacity shown in Firestone’s tables increases with inflation pressure, but only within the limits specified for the particular tire size and load rating. Tire pressure should not be increased beyond the manufacturer’s specifications to increase load capacity.

What is the difference between Single and Dual tire pressure ratings?

S (Single) refers to a tire used individually on an axle end, while D (Dual) refers to tires installed as a dual assembly. The load capacity differs between the two configurations, so the appropriate column must be used when selecting inflation pressure.

Why does the same tire size have different load ratings?

A single tire size can be available with different load and speed ratings, such as 154/150 or 156/150. These specifications can provide different load capacities and operating limits. The tire’s actual sidewall marking should always be matched to the corresponding load and inflation data.

Where does the Firestone truck tire pressure data in this guide come from?

The load and inflation data presented in this guide are based on the Firestone Truck Tire Data Book 2024. The tables show the applicable tire load limits at different cold inflation pressures for the tire sizes and configurations covered in the guide.
