Posting from phone at camp with low signal, so not sure how this will turn out. I’ll fix this post once I get home. Here’s a teaser, hopefully:

Also of note, if any of the “askholes” need proof that JBrew knows what he’s talking about, let this be it: I’m running these tires at 65psi to start and it’s not enough. I’ll probably start a whole new thread on the tires alone. More to come later.

Running E's for the first time, the internet isn't much help finding the correct pressures, Too much conflicting info out there. There's a simpler way. You can use the place card in the door jam of vehicles that run these tires from the factory. Which would be the F250/350's. That will get you in the ball park or a starting point and road right pressure. The tire are designed to road right at 80 psi max, but you do so under max payload. If you run them lower than 65 psi, or place card psi, it's hard on the tires, the truck and economy. Nothing good will come from it.

The tire shops usually go by the book. By the book I mean they will only pump them up to whatever is on the place card on YOUR vehicle. So in most cases you have to adjust pressure after getting them mounted for the first time.

Pro's to running E's -

Longevity - If you don't pull heavy loads or max out payload often, these tires may last yuh 80,000 miles. They are also tough tires, thicker side walls and heavy duty. They weight more, as much 10lbs more per tire, but usually won't affect economy as the higher roading pressure offsets the weight diff.

Cons, -

You may loose some ride quality due to the higher pressures these tires call for. You most likley won't notice much of that UNLESS you have your T-bars cranked up too much on these trucks lol.
