Maybe I'm too old for this suspension...

I just took the lift and 33s off my truck. Rides like a dream now compared to the 33s. I’m running stock suspension and 265/75 16s. Says they are supposed be at 80 psi. Still rides better the before but 80 psi seems so high for a lt tire

80 PSI is used on big boy trucks with E load tires towing heavy trailers/large payloads and seems insane on a little 4Runner. Maybe you are reading the Max PSI sidewall markings?

80 psi is the max pressure for the tires you took off. Max pressure does not equal recommended tire pressure. If you were running them at 80 psi on your truck no wonder it was a rough ride. Try running around 30 psi. Best way to tell what your tire pressure should be is to chalk test the tread and adjust tire pressures from there.

Thank you

I don’t even run 80 psi on my diesel at almost 19,000 lbs combined with my 35ft RV….

That 80 number is the max rating for every load range E I’ve ever seen. You could get scientific, weigh axles and refer to a load chart(a bit pointless, I’ve done it since I have access to my dads semi scale.)

How inflated they look, and how they feel driving are the main things.

At 80 I’ll bet the 4runner is an oversteer king on the gravel! Mine is a ton of fun at 40 for oversteer on the gravel curves.

I know if you do the conversion from an SL tire to LTE you end up at 44psi or something for the max GCVWR on a 3rd gen if I remember right.

If you’re not towing, 36 to 40 is going to be money and will let you do interstate speeds. If you’re doing a town putt around and never go above 65, you could undercut that. LTE tires suck driving around under 36 psi on pave. It makes it to where he almost literally cannot do interstate speed under 36 psi.

I run my mudders at 45 psi for decent highway MPG - pot holes do suck, however.
