Yeah that seems way too high... I'd say 45 front, more in the rear if you're towing.

Be sure to check out www.rimjobs.com. Lots of pictures and videos... lol [emoji104]Ok so Im in need of some tires here and im pretty clueless when it comes to which is best, where to buy etc. Im wanting a 33" or around 285/70/17 aggressive looking tire. I want more of on the cheap side because im not gonna do much off roading any more so they dont have to be the best for off road but just have that off road look. What brand would yall suggest based on that?
also where would be the cheapest place to get them? online? where? I have access to a tire changer so I can mount em myself and save some money. Again i dont have a but load of money to spend on tires...
Was wiping down the truck and on the front drivers door jam, it does show the exact tire I have on the truck stating 50lbs on the front 60lbs on the back.
Had never noticed it. But, this is the first ram I have ever owned that wasn't 4x4 and didn't have minimum 30"ers on it.
The sticker in the door jamb is what pressure you should run your tires at. The guy at the manufacturer gave you the MAX rating the tire is rated for. This is also what is printed on the sidewall. A lot of people just look at that number and pump them up to that and then wonder why their tires cup out so fast. The max is just that, a maximum pressure that can be put in the tire. The actual pressure you should run is on the door jamb sticker.
Added more air. Ran the fronts at 65lbs and backs at 70lbs. Ran to Knoxville and Back (7.5 total hours) 1 hour in the city. Averaged 18.2 mph the entire trip. Starting to wonder if the Ram sticker is right or if Falken is right. There was really no more bounce to the back of the truck than what I was running.

Pulled this off WILDPEAK H/T TIRE | Falken Tire Says yours is the LT and max is 80 psi. So obviously dont run 80 but high 60's and low 70's should be on the money.
Sorry for ****** quality pic, I included the link.
I've got falkens on my beast and I'll never go with another tire unless I'm short for cash
New to an old thread - I've got LT275/65R20 Bridgestone Dueller ATs all around. Obviously the door jam says 35psi. However, the "Max psi" for these tires is 80. I like a little stiffer ride - and even at 55 psi, they almost feel flat. My question is; is there any harm in pumping them up to 65-70 (i.e. they won't seat right on the bead, etc)?

Best thing to do is a “chalk test” to tell you if your tires are excessively under or over inflated for your vehicle.New to an old thread - I've got LT275/65R20 Bridgestone Dueller ATs all around.
