Simple question, what pressure do I want my tires at? - TundraTalk.net

SybErkRimInAL · 04-15-2008, 06:22 PM

I have the stock BFG's on my truck. 175/65/r18 I believe is the number on them. I have a CrewMax, never loaded with anything but my ass and I never take it off road. My tires look low and I need to know what they should be at. I've looked at other threads and am even further confused. Thanks in advance!

about 35 all around

some people do like 37/32 front/rear because the weight in the front

but its kind of a personal preference.

ive read that you should take some chalk, draw a line across the tread of your tires. Drive for a bit. See what chalk has worn off. Adjust pressure so that all tread makes even contact.

Thanks brotha. The chalk thing is too much work.

35 all around it is!

i got 37 up front, and 35 on the rears. 18 on bridgestone duelers.

I have 35 on all four wheels, and they still seem a little droopy. Should I keep adding? I think Toyota says 30

Look on your door jamb. That's what the recommended tire pressure is for your vehicle.

Btw, 175mm is a small tire lol (I know ya meant 275)

Different tires need different pressures....I go by the fine print on the tire itself. The original tires were kinda squishy, even at max press. That's to be expected of a 'P' rated tire. Now I've got a premium tire with a higher load rating and stiffer sidewalls...experiencing firmer steering, less sideways jiggle, better tracking, at lower pressure than I ran in the oem junk. Experiment! Put a couple more # in the front, add pressure 'till traction and ride suffer. air-down 'till they suck...just stay within safe limits.
