stupid question, tire pressure

[SmokeyMcBong]

Hey all, I have interco trxus m/t 265 75316's. The question is: what's a good tire pressure to run for pavement use? They're low so I'm gonna put them at 35psi don't know if that's good tho

35psi is a bit high. Your ride will be harsh. Ive got 33/10.50s that I run at 24psi. I get even wear and I don't feel every pebble on the road. what load range rating are they?

Thanks for the reply. The tires are load range D

The best place to start is with the original Toyota reccomended pressure found on the sticker on the door jamb.

Load range D is an 8-ply(or equivalent) tire. Overkill for a light rig like a 4RNR. I would most definitely run them around 24 psi. The ratings on the door jamb are relevant if u are running stock sized tires, which u are not. Next time around choose a load range C (6-ply)tire.

I run 35 psi. I couldn't stand the factory recommendation. It was too squishy. BUT they are load range C. A heavier load range will be stiffer anyway.

Thanks guys, I checked the door jam and it said the pressure for 15inch tires not the 16's that are on it so I wasn't sure. Thanks again for the replies

Pressure is pressure, regardless of the size of the container (in this case the tire).

best way to determine tire pressure is to do a chalk test . running the wrong pressure will kill the life of the tire .

Absolutely the best answer !
