What is the right tire pressure for a Ford Edge?
The recommended tire pressure for the 2022 Ford Edge is 35 psi for both front and rear wheels. You can find these specs in your Ford Edge owner’s manual, but if your manual is packed away in a box in your attic, never fear—you can find your vehicle’s tire pressure specs on the sticker located in the driver’s side door jamb, too.
Keep in mind that these specs are typically for the standard equipment that your vehicle came with when it was first purchased. If you’ve added high-performance tires or made any modifications to your vehicle’s wheels, you’ll want to follow the inflation specs for your specific tires.
Ford has kept tire pressure specs pretty consistent over the years. Here’s a quick look at the recommended tire pressures for Ford Edge models since 2007:

How to check Ford Edge tire pressure
The Ford Edge comes with an electronic tire pressure monitoring system—or TPMS. This is a safety feature that alerts you when one or more of your tires loses pressure. While some vehicles’ TPMS gives a general alert when any of the tires have lost pressure, the Ford Edge’s TPMS indicates specifically which tire or tires have lost pressure.
If your vehicle isn’t quite that sci-fi, you can figure out your car’s tire pressure by using a tire pressure gauge
. If you don’t have a tire gauge, look for symptoms that might indicate a loss of tire pressure, such as diminished fuel efficiency, difficulty steering, and an uneven ride. If you suspect that your tire pressure might be low, your local filling station will have a tire gauge that you can borrow and an air compressor that you can use to get your tire back to spec.
You can find the maximum psi specs written on the sidewall of your car’s tires. This is simply the maximum tire pressure that your tire can handle, and is not the manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure specification. You can find your manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure in your owner’s manual or written on the sticker located in your driver’s side door frame.
If your tires are filled with nitrogen, it is still safe to add air to them if they have begun to lose pressure.
How often should you check tire pressure?
Generally speaking, you should check your tire pressure at least once a month and before embarking on any long road trips.
How to tell if your Ford Edge needs new tires
New tires will last about six years, but they can wear out sooner depending on how much driving you do. It is a good idea to inspect your tires regularly for cracks and bulging, both of which are indications that your tires need replacing. You’ll also want to monitor your tread depth to ensure that your tires are not too worn.
Here’s a trick to help you keep an eye on your tire’s tread depth. Stick an American penny in your tire’s tread with President Lincoln’s head pointing in the direction of your wheel’s lug nuts. If you can see the top of Mr. Lincoln’s head, it’s time to get yourself some new tires.
How to reset the Ford Edge tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) light
If you’ve recently reinflated your tires and your tire pressure monitoring system dash light won’t go out, you may need to reset your TPMS
. Here’s what to do: Step one: Fill your tires to the factory recommended pressure.
Step two: Press the ignition button once without your foot on the brake pedal. This will turn your car on, but it won’t start the engine.
Step three: Press the hazard button several times until your car horn beeps.
Step four: Use a tire pressure tool, a pen, or some other tool to release air from your driver-side tire until your car horn beeps.
Step five: Repeat step four for the three remaining wheels in clockwise order.
After you’ve completed these steps, your dash menu will read “Training Complete”.
