TIRE PRESSURE!!!!

[Buds007]

I just put a set of BFG A/T TA KO's on my X. I also put on shackles/addaleaf, and TT. I would like to know what I should run the tire pressure at. The tires are 31x10.50. Thanks

I run about 35 cold in my 31s for the best contact patch.

alec, that seems a bit high... with a 31 on an explorer, the optimum for contact patch is about 30...... i use 35 for best fuel efficency in my 31s..... a big ol suburban i worked on today with 16" wheels and meaty tires recommended 35 as the mfg spec......

that's what I came up with after a chalk test. They have 15k miles on them with 35 psi most of the time and are wearing perfectly.

that is good than.... i usually run my 31 bfgs at 35 psi also..... and other than my huge negative camber problem, they have worn evenly.....
