On Monday I'm headed to the tire shop to pick up a set of 255/75/17 Hankook DynaPro ATM RF10 tires for my 03 4runner. Any suggestions on what PSI I should run these at? I'm guessing ~38, but not too sure on that guess.
I just had the LT 265/70/17 version of these Hankooks put on my 2010 4Runner and they put 35 psi in them. I decided on this tire after doing quite a bit of research, and was shocked to discover that just about every little gas station/tire shop up here in the Ozarks had them in stock! They tell me a lot of the good old boys use them on their pickup up trucks and that they do well on the gravel roads - probably the reason they recommended the lower psi. I live nine miles back on a rough gravel road so drive them a lot. When going on a long road trip I will probably air them up to 45 or something like that since they are LTs. One thing I noticed right off the bat - the "rock ejectors" on these tires really seem to work - I'm only picking up a fraction of the gravel that I normally do, which has lead to dozens and dozens of flats over the years...
I'm also an Arkansan, good to hear they are working for you. They have excellent reviews everywhere I've seen. I've been set on them, just debated on size. Most of my driving is on road (paved), a little on gravel during hunting season, and that's about it. Good to hear. I don't tow or carry much, so I'm going P rated. I've seen several rigs running around here with them, although they are rarely talked about on here. Thanks for the info!
I'm running P-rated Bridgestone Revo's currently. I've tried several different psi in my tires and have found that 36psi has been the best balance between long, even wear, on-road handling, gas mileage, and comfort.
