Sometimes it's better to research as tire shops have to be accountable for their work, thus their refusal to set pressure to anything other than what oem states.

Get an air compressor and gauge and adjust to your hearts delight.

My door jamb states that I need 43 psi cold for the stock 265/60/18 Hankook Dynapro HT tires.

I now have Nitto Terra Grappler G2 in 275/55/20 and they are set to 38psi cold.

How come my TPMS hasn’t gone off? On a cold morning they were even down to 36 psi and no warning?

My HDPP with LT275/65/18 have sticked door of 48 psi. I run them at 43 psi unloaded truck. Would probably increase to 48 when fully loaded

I don't think that you'll get a warning until you're pretty far down - rough guess 20-25 psi. I had a warning on my Escape and it turned out that the tire was down to around 20 pounds when I got home. And had a screw in it.

This thread has inspired me to check my tires. Consistent, 36,36,36,35. Pumped them all up to 38. Factory 275/55/20 Hand-Kookoos

THAts because your truck came with E-rated tires. E-rated tires only attain their load rating at 50 psi, so that’s roughly where the manufacturer expects you to keep them at (especially on HD trucks).

Most users on here don’t have HDPP; the Dynapros above are P-rated iirc. Your specific truck’s TPMS is tailored to E-range. With TPMS you can usually upgrade (P to LT with no problems), but going backwards from E to P will throw warnings.

Yes I know . My comment was more to debate what Tom with a truck was saying about alarm being trigged at 20-23 psi. If my warning is trigged 10 psi below door label, it probably be the same for other, so if door label says 43psi it will probably alarm at 33 psi, not 20-25.

Technically, I think the spec is "no more than" 25% below the inflation listed in the door. The ballpark figure I was mentioning was for people with typical P rated tires that don't generally run that high. My sticker says 36, so I would expect the alarm at 27 psi or so. The tires on my Escape, IIRC, required 32 psi so it might alarm a little lower at 24 psi.
