Your 2010 Ford Escape should have a tire pressure of 32 psi and is equipped with p235/70r16 tires on 16-inch wheels. It is important to check your tire air pressure once a month using a reliable tire gauge to ensure safety. Ignoring low tire pressure can be dangerous and may lead to a blowout. If your tire-pressure warning light illuminates, do not disregard it as it could indicate a flat tire. Low pressure can result from a leak or natural loss of pressure over time. When tire pressure is too low, the sidewalls of the tire flex more, causing heat to build up within the tire.
The recommended tire pressure for the 2010 Ford Escape is 32 pounds per square inch (psi), with tire size P235/70R16 and wheel size of 16 inches. Depending on the specific model, the standard wheel size for the 2010 Ford Escape may differ. The base model of the 2010 Ford Escape comes equipped with standard 16-inch silver aluminum wheels.
I drive a 2010 Escape with 17-inch tires. The recommended tire pressure is 32 psi when cold, so make sure to check it in the morning before you head out. Personally, I prefer to add 5 psi over the recommended pressure when the tires are cold. This helps with longer tire lifespan, improved fuel efficiency, and provides excellent traction.
