Tire talk psi

[Jstonk]

So I've spent a lot of time looking through everyone psi posts on their stock tremor tires.

I reached out to General Tire to get their thoughts. I did the same when I ran my K02s and they reccomended a totally different psi than Ford did.

Generals response was:
"[Web Inquiry: 220815-000004]

Thank you for contacting Customer Relations at General Tire.

We would still recommend using the vehicle manufacturer specified inflation pressure even under load."

So the manufacturers say stay at 35psi, what's everyone's thoughts on this?

That’s what I’m running on old range E nittos. 40 was way to rough and still getting good tire wear so I’m happy.

On the stock tire I run 39-41 psi, rides not harsh, gets better mpg, and handles better with a load. Now offroad I air down to 25-28 psi. These are standard load tires, if they were E rated I might run a different psi and would definitely go lower off-road.

I find a trailer behind my truck almost every tank of gas, so I just keep the rear tires maxed and the front around 40 psi. These are pretty soft tires and I don't notice any harsh ride or odd tire wear yet.

I aired down to about 20psi offroad a couple of weeks ago... thankfully didn't roll a bead off the rim. I'm used to E rated tires that I could run at 15psi from my old truck

I run them about 38psi front and 36 rear (unloaded)/40 rear (with a trailer) for on road driving.

Ultimately though when these wear out I'm going E rated.

I was worried that I was going to screw myself over running at the same PSIs as you are loaded and unloaded so it calms my fears seeing others doing the same thing. Running at 41 for the rears fully loaded made the truck much more manageable. I ran 38 on the front and it seemed to level out the tire to pavement contact.

I noticed mine came up around 43-44 PSI, same way my explorer did, assuming this is for transit to prevent flat spots. ill be dropping mine down to a couple PSI above reccomneded

Always cold myself.
