Yes I see it every day people driving around on rocks. LOLSo people really inflate these 35's up to 60psi ??
Being that you have a 2500 those numbers are pretty close. What motor do you have?
It's ok...Just noticed this is an old thread
I can’t tell from your profile pic looks like you have a 1500 which you would be running in the 35 psi rangeIt's ok...
Im a seasoned forum guy over the last 18 years and I know better than to start a new thread hahaha !!!
I know how to do the whole search thing - anyways, I'm probably just going to run 50psi on all 4 corners...
thoughts ??
Yes sir - 14 Ram 1500I can’t tell from your profile pic looks like you have a 1500 which you would be running in the 35 psi range
Yes tire pressure doesn’t care how big your tires are. It’s requires more air to reach desired psi but many mistake that for they need more pressure. Most bigger tires are e rated or thicker side walls so they are more capable to air way down for off-roadingYes sir - 14 Ram 1500
I was in the range before I read the recommended PSI for 35's, so I jacked it up to 50...
ughghgh....
Ok, so here's the million dollar questionYes tire pressure doesn’t care how big your tires are. It’s requires more air to reach desired psi but many mistake that for they need more pressure. Most bigger tires are e rated or thicker side walls so they are more capable to air way down for off-roading
Are you referring to nitto’s max psi? the OP had a 2500 which is heavier then our 1500. Also inside your door is a sticker recommending tire PSI.Ok, so here's the million dollar question
why would Nitto recommend almost more than double the psi that most are running ??
mid there a clear answer on that, or is it more murkiness ??
I am running 36psi in the rear and 41psi in the front on my 37x12.5R20s on my 1500 .... with 36psi in the rear the rear end stays on the ground just right with the front giving me really good handling ...
I would not go anywhere near 50 and 40 with these tires ... having worked at a tire shop for 5 years helped me see what is a good tire pressure depending on the tires and vehicles they go on ...
And also remember, rotating your tires every 3k-4k with tires 35 and bigger will help keep them fresh for a long time ...
Yeah, for my LT325/50/22 122S, Nittos says max tire pressure of 65psi for a 1500...Are you referring to nitto’s max psi? the OP had a 2500 which is heavier then our 1500. Also inside your door is a sticker recommending tire PSI.
If you tow you would want to inflate your rear tires while towing but fronts generally stay the same. If you want optimal tire wear then you would do “the chalk test” that is when you put chalk on the treads and drive 25’ and look at the wear. Then adjust psi and repeat. I recommend to everyone to set it to the numbers printed on the sticker inside the drivers door to start then adjust from there. I’m at 38 front 34 rear with a 325/60 tire which is a very big 35 they would generally class with a 37 as they measure the same as most 37’s
That's what I did, and that's what triggered my questionfigure it out by using the tire info on the sidewall and the weight of your truck
Do you get dash lights/TPMS alarms running at 35 & 38 PSI?Are you referring to nitto’s max psi? the OP had a 2500 which is heavier then our 1500. Also inside your door is a sticker recommending tire PSI.
