tire pressure for 57 t-bird bias tires
57 bird tire pressure??
Re: tire pressure for 57 t-bird bias tires
Per the decal on the glove box door, 22psi front & rear. I have radials so a minimum of 32psi front & rear up to 35psi. They are a little stiff at that but helps prevent skirt rub as they flex more than bias ply tires.

I agree with the factory recommended bias ply tire pressure as a starting point. Those tires are pretty stiff.
You might experiment a little and try adding a few psi to the front or rear or both. I definitely would not go below 22 and would be cautious about going much more than 26. The ride will get pretty rough and the handling will not be as good.

the bias look radials from American Classic are a very good upgrade, much safer.
