Question What are you running for tire pressure?

People,

What pressure are you running your tires at? I've got a 17 sport with the 20" rims and I'm running about 40 psi on each. The ride is a little rough and looking at going down to 35 psi but wanted to see what others were doing. Yes I'm still on factory shocks and mileage is about 18,000 currently.

Thanks!

I know my factory tires (17 Sport with 20's) called for 35 on the door jamb and it was delivered to me from the dealership at 45 which made it ride really rough. Once I went down to 35, it felt like a Cadillac lol. Now that I have bigger tires and higher PSI, its back to feeling rough. The tires wore even at that PSI when I took them off around 9800 miles.

I have the factory mounted 20" Michelin's on my 157"wb 2016. I run a little more than the recommended 35 in the fronts (37ish) and a little less than the recommended 35 in the rears (32ish). I don't follow a specific rotation mileage and simply rotate when they look like they need it. With this truck it's been in the 7-7500 mile range. At 27,000 miles the tires look great.

Should say on your door what the PSI should be, unless your truck came with the E rated tires it should be about 35 lbs.....if you had E rated and dropped down to P rated then go with 35 anyway.

Ya 40 would be pretty jarring unless you are fully loaded / towing.

Door says 35, I run 36 on my new truck with 20's. Same thing for the truck I replaced, but it had 18's.

I also noticed the tires were at 45 psi when I took delivery of the truck last week. Not sure it that's a dealer thing or maybe intentionally overfilled at the factory to minimize "squish" during transit when they are chained down.

I run 36psi in my 20's. Fronts run one psi higher than the rears per my super duper monitoring dashboard.

Stock tires/wheels, Hancrap AT/M's, 35 psi all 4. Due for a rotation at 6200 miles.
