What tire pressure is everybody running. Installer put 60 psi in mine saying that he's seen problems with the tpms if you add to much or not enough air on occasion. They to me look slightly soft and I'm wanting to add a few more pounds. Thanks

I'm running 44psi on mine, LT275/70/18. Wearing evenly and tread contact looks fine. They still look a little soft, but I think its just the nature of these tires.

60 is a little too much. At ~45-50psi depending on your size the tire will hold the same weight as your stock P-Metric tires. However even at 35psi they will still carry well over your GVWR and provide a more comfortable ride.

Somewhere between 40-50psi will net you the best results.

Wow, didn't think I'd hear anybody would be running them under my current pressure. I suppose that's why you ask the question. I bought the bigger 275/65/20 to fill the wells of my leveling kit. Love them. Absolutely phenomenal in the snow and quiet on dry pavement. Thanks for the responses guys.

I run 55 in mine. I get even wear out of that and I think they run smoother at that pressure. Tried 45 but just didn't like how they rode.

Post a bigger pic of that truck. I like the look. I'll probably sell my FX18's and look for black FX20's to put these tires on.

I hope you're as happy with your as I am with mine when you're done. Just for reference, I went with the Autospring 2.5" spacer in the front with the 3"block in the rear. Why the switch from a 2012 to a 2014?
