Hi all,

Just got me some new shoes.. 5 Nitto Terra Grappler P265/70R17's. So what tire pressure should I be running. They put 32PSI and I didn't like that so I put 36PSI all around. Is this to much or just about right? I was running 34PSI on my stock dunflops...

I don't know the answer but please elaborate about your tires/rig.....Have any pics? All stock setup ? Rubbing issues...etc

I really want BFGs for my next tire, but am seriously considering the same tire you just went with. Do they fill the wheel well nicely?
 
36 PSI seems to be a good balance between ride comfort and MPG. I've been runing them this way for 40,000+ miles with no issues.
 
I'm right there with you MAC4Runner and thought the 32 PSI was a little low. I've been running my Nitto TG's anywhere from 34 to 36 PSI for about 20,000 miles and I've been happy with the MPG/ride.

I haven't had any problems with rubbing with my 265/70/17's Nitto's and I'm running the stock setup. I, personally, love the tire and think they fill out the wheel well nicely, as well as, add an aggressive look. Maybe not as aggressive as the BFG T/A KO's but close. A lot of guys on this site are running this Nitto tire size/model and are very happy. Plus, you'll be saving about $60 a tire!! Hope this helps man
 
Thanks I am also running a stock set up for now less the full brush guard on the front. I noticed the tires had a max PSI rating of 35PSI so I lowered them down to 33PSI for now. Will keep an eye on them. I got them for 142 each before mounting and balancing.. Not to bad.. Was going to go with the 255/75R17 BFG mud terrains that are on sale ate tirerack.com for $99 each but ended up having to buy new tires early do to unexpected large screws that I picked up on Tuesday.. ;-( I do like these nittos but I have only put 50 miles on them so far..

Are you running the P rated or Lt rated Tires? The P rated are spected out to only 35PSI While the LT rated tire is 80PSI.

PICS PLEASE!!! I want to see the tires fill the well. Congrats on the tire purchase.

Okay okay. I will get the camera out and take a few picture for ya. Will up load picture tonight. Also on topic. I called Nitto and asked what they recommend for tire pressure for my tires and truck combo and they said 34psi.

No rubbing but I think its time to order my lift. I think I am going with the Toytec 4Runner Ultimate 3" lift package. Now I just need to figure out where that mod money is coming from.

Looks great! Off topic but your sunroof visor/deflector... Do you like it? Did you drive it enough to know whether it helps with noise and interior wind noise?
:cheers:

The sunroof deflector came with my truck. I took it off for a while but I dindn't like the way the truck looked with out it. Plus it does help with wind noise while the sunroof is opened. Now in a light rain it will keep the frount seats dry but the kiddos in the back get rain. :-)

Aaron, cool thanks. I want one:D My old (1999) Trooper had one of the biggest sunroofs ever. The visor made a huge difference on that.
:cheers:
 
No worries.. looks like my thread got moved.. I am not sure which one I have I removed the brand sticker off of its right after I bought the truck.. Also one other thing I notice on this sunroof visor was the mounting clips started rusting where it was touching the roof and thats why I removed it. Before I reinstalled it I put some e-tape on the inside of the bracket to keep the metal mounting bracket from touching the paint and to prevent scratches.

I have exactly the same question, my tires have a max psi of 35 written on them...they are nitto terra grappler P265/70r17 113S so i wonder if this is cold tires pressure or if this is the max it can reach while driving (mean maybe i have to keep them 32psi so while they get warmer max and can reach max psi while expanding?)

Tire pressure listed on tire sidewalls, or recommended pressures listed by manufacturers, are always Cold tire pressures. Of course the pressure in the tire will rise as a vehicle is driven, but that is already taken into account by the tire and vehicle manufacturers.
