When to inflate to max load psi
For most F-150 owners, the recommended cold tire pressure of 35 psi is sufficient. However, if you plan on towing a heavy trailer or hauling a significant amount of weight in the bed, you may need to inflate your tires to the maximum pressure listed on the tire's sidewall. This will help to prevent the tires from overheating and potentially failing under the added load.

Common tire issues for this vehicle
The 2017 Ford F-150 is a reliable truck, but there are a few common tire issues to be aware of:
- Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) faults: The TPMS sensors can sometimes fail, causing the TPMS light to illuminate on the dashboard. In most cases, the sensor will need to be replaced.
- Uneven tire wear: This can be caused by a number of factors, including improper alignment, unbalanced tires, or incorrect tire pressure. It's important to have your tires rotated and balanced every 5,000-7,500 miles to prevent uneven wear.
- Vibrations: If you feel a vibration in the steering wheel or seats, it could be a sign of a bent wheel, an unbalanced tire, or a problem with the suspension.
