Tires - Ford Ranger Owner's Manual

Tires

Look at your tires each time you fill your fuel tank. If one tire
looks lower than the others, check the pressure in all of them.
Always follow these precautions:
Keep your tires inflated to the recommended pressures.
Stay within the recommended load limits (see Load limits in
the Index).
Make sure the weight of your load is evenly distributed.
Drive at safe speeds.
If you do not take these precautions, your tires may fail or go
flat.
Ford Motor Company recommends obeying posted speed limits.
Driving too fast for conditions creates the possibility of
loss of vehicle control. Driving at very high speeds for
extended periods of time may result in damage to vehicle
components.
At least once a month, check the pressure in all your vehicle's
tires, including the spare. Use an accurate tire pressure gauge.
Check the tire pressure when tires are cold, that is, after the
vehicle has been parked for at least one hour or has been
driven less than 3 miles (5 km). You can find the proper cold
pressure on the Safety Compliance Certification Label.
Improperly inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and
can fail suddenly, possibly resulting in loss of vehicle
control.
