For stock tire size and load range, yes, but since bigger tires and heavier load range, this will not be the case. This is assuming u mean the 35 psi that Ford recommends. The tire recommendations are max psi, for max load and not always best wear.

I used to. My mechanic suggested a higher tire pressure for a larger ply tire. My F250 recommended 45psi and I run 50. My F150 says 35 but I'm running 45.

I was running mine at 35psi for about a year bc that's the psi that the tire shop I got them from set them at. I recently put them to 40 psi and I like it better at 40. It seems to ride smoother and just better all around. I've got about 12000 miles on mine and they still have about 80-85% tread left. The place I got them from said that there manager runs them on his f150 and has had them on there for about 55000 miles and they're still lookin decent.

I have ProComp tires, which are essentially Coopers and my tires are the same size (35 x 12.5 x 18). I've always run between 35psi to 40psi on my truck and get between 40K miles to 50K miles from a Mud tread. I'm at 40K miles on these ProComps with 15%-20% tread remaining and will be buying another set of Cooper or going over to a Good Year Duratrac for even better snow traction.

For everybody I will have to say that it definitely is tricky trying to find the right pressure to run a tire for sure My ATZ's that I'm currently running on are set at 40-42 psi and that's what they were set at when i bought the truck used from one of my friends
