Default Tire inflation pressures

The Tires on this F150 or 275-60-15 are so fat when combined with the fender flares makes the truck look like it is ambulating down the road on a set of butt cheeks like red devil known by various names, such as Officer Nopantsky on the Cow and Chicken cartoon. Do I inflate them to what is indicated on the door sticker or should it be different?

If they are the stock tires go with the door sticker, and if they aren't you will be fine around the 40psi range.

I agree, my 31's don't look very good with 32psi, kinda saggy and underinflated looking. But at 40 psi, they look just right!

Have you put 40PSI in your tires before? It sure doesn't "ride like a rock" to me.

I run 35psi in my stock size 17s. Rides a bit stiffer but gas mileage is better.
