What is the proper tire psi for 4.50 x 21 front TT tires and 6.00 x 23 Rear TT Tires.

Thanks, Jacob Mangold

I have been playing with ChatGPT and here is the response:
The recommended tire pressure for Model TT Ford tires can vary depending on factors such as load, driving conditions, and personal preferences. However, here are some general guidelines for tire pressure:

1. Front Tires (4.50 x 21): The recommended tire pressure for the front tires of a Model TT Ford is typically between 35-40 psi (pounds per square inch). This range provides adequate stability and steering response.

2. Rear Tires (6.00 x 23): The recommended tire pressure for the rear tires of a Model TT Ford is typically between 45-50 psi. The higher pressure helps support the additional weight carried by the rear axle.

It's important to note that these are general recommendations, and it's always best to consult the specific tire manufacturer's guidelines or refer to the owner's manual for your particular Model TT Ford for the most accurate information.

When adjusting tire pressure, ensure that all tires on the same axle are inflated to the same pressure to maintain proper balance and handling characteristics. Regularly check tire pressure using a reliable pressure gauge and adjust as necessary for optimal performance, ride comfort, and safety.
Not too far from the expert advice given above:)
