Tire PSI Over 100 MPH

He could look up the info online sure. He's asking specifically because the manual says to look at the sticker on the door, his is apparently missing it. Here is mine:

My PP car does not have the sticker.

I just looked at my GT (NON PP), and it too has that >100 MPH sticker in the same location. My GT was made Dec 2014, so maybe the later cars didn't get the sticker ... ???

It is probably stuck onto the cars equipped with the OE tires that require it.

Could be ... my GT has the optional 19s with the W-rated Pirelli tires.

Hmmm, OP if your car is missing the sticker....crash at 100+ mph....have an attorney claim it was due to tire pressure...then sue Ford for millions of dollars for not having this critical warning sticker.

LMAO

im guessing that PP cars dont have that sticker. will verify tomorrow.

Seems like if any should have the sticker, it would be the PP.

Did you not click the link? Because the first link has a table with how much you should increase your tire pressure based on speed, separated by speed rating none the less.

I did, and it brought me to a discussion forum of BMW owners on why you have to increase the pressure.

I do alot of really high speed Autobahn driving here in Germany, 100 mph or less.. (161KPH) Means i'm stuck behind someone or not on an unlimited part. There is a very simple rule of thumb the Safety instructor at a track day told us.
find the max cold sidewall pressure on you tire and subtract 10%. My tires are 51 psi max, so my Pressure is 46 psi or 3 bar conveniently in Europe. I can tell you that the stability at high speeds is significantly improved as is tire wear and hydroplaning resistance with major improvements to steering feel. The trade offs are more Road noise and bumps transmitted into the cabin along with a very slight loss of ultimate grip though the tires are far more predictable on the limits.

damn i forgot to check

How funny. If I click it on my phone the first link is BMW forums, on my pc the first link is tirerack. It's the third link on my phone. You want the
Tirerack link

Ford may not be including the 100+mph sticker for legal reasons. "Go above 100 mph and blow a tire": "But Ford says I can go faster than 100 mph...the sticker says so!"
Same reasoning why Ford would not recommend you driving at the top speed marking on the speedometer.

I'm with you - it's probably gone because of liability worries, although I'd think the PP cars would keep the stickers because people buy them to take to the track, which of course has no speed limit.
:ford:

PP cars have different size tires and are probably rated for higher speeds at the same pressures
