Application
Tyre pressure markings were applied according to WDC 174 (12 June 1945) on the dashboard (clearly visible), inside of windscreen, or on/above the wheel arches of American military vehicles. The marking 'TP 35' stands for Tire Pressure 35 lbs (psi) — the standard tyre pressure for 6-ply tyres on WWII jeeps and light military vehicles. This marking appears in period photographs of various vehicles, although not all units/motorpools applied this marking.
Installation notes
Place stencil at desired location (dashboard, inside wheel arch, or inside windscreen). Apply with white or black lusterless stencil paint, depending on surface. Letter heights not exceeding 1 inch in accordance with WWII regulations. Stencil is for single use.
Compatibility
This TP 35 marking is suitable for vehicles with 6.00-16 tyres at standard tyre pressure. Note: tyre pressure varied depending on tyre type (4-ply vs 6-ply), load, and terrain. Some units used 30 psi (tarmac) or 25 psi (off-road). Check which pressure is historically correct for your specific vehicle and configuration.
Historical context
From June 1945, War Department Circular 174 prescribed that tyre pressures should be marked on military vehicles. The marking 'TP 35' (35 lbs/psi) was a common value for WWII jeeps with 6-ply tyres, although exact pressures varied according to Technical Manual and tyre type.
