put them @ 32 psi for best ride and good fuel economy on the X
 






32-35 psi is probably best. it should say it on the sidewall of the tire. 65 is WAY TOO HIGH, heh - if you hit a bump, youll either pop a tire or youll bounce thru the roof of your truck. im not an off road guy, but when you hit the trails, you might wanna let some air out.
 






whats the sticker say?

Check your door sticker probably says 30psi. The sidewall designation is just a max load rating for the tire has nothing to do with your vehicle.
 






30-35 psi is a good range to run. Lower than that, and you will put too much heat into the tires.
