What do PSI do you keep your tires at?

[motorhead19]

Just curious,
I have 265/70/16 BFG A/T's on my '03 and have been keeping my tire pressure at 40 lbs. They've been on the X for roughly 15k, rotated every 3-4k, and I periodically check to make sure they are wearing evenly. So what do all you others with 265's, 285's, etc, keep your tires at?

My 265/75/16s are rated at a max of 40PSI, so I run them at 36.

 

[RoadBully]

I run my 285's at 30lbs

 

[mawrazen]

40 psi

 

[JCUZ]

I run my 285's at 30lbs

I thought the TPMS was calibrated for 32PSI - have you bypassed it somehow, or have I got the calibration number wrong?

No TPMS on my Ex.
But the sticker in the fuel door says 35lbs in the rear and 30lbs in the front.

Running my 235/70R16 (stock size) at 38-40. Running your tires at 40 (as long as they are rated to hold at least that) is a very safe place to be. In my Dodge that I had, I was running 285/75R16 at 42-45 because with the weight of the truck, it was the happy medium for ride quality and resistance.

I run my 265/75R16's at 37 normally and raise it higher when towing. (They are rated up to 65psi).

 

[misconceived]

The TPMS is rated for 32. If your PSI drops below 32, you see the light. Going higher has no effect.


My Kumhos are rated for 50, I run @ 45.

 

[JCUZ]

Wow, 50! Just as a note, higher pressures are certainly better on the tarmac, but offraod, lower pressures are better for soaking up the bumps and making as a wide a foot print as possible in slippery conditions.

I run mine at 50 with nitrogen but it was a hard ride but 45 is much better. I would not do 50 with air only nitrogen.
