Now, question is, what should I be running for air pressure in these? Sidewall says 80 lbs max. They are Nankang AT-5 Conquerer’s. E rated, 10 ply.

Yeah I just bounced around the air pressure question too. Mine say 80 @ 3900. Way to high if your not loaded. I'm running 45 but think I might go somewhere between that and 35. Think about what you load on the daily and adjust from there. If your like me and don't really haul anywhere between 35 / 45 should do it.

Been running at 40 psi. Rides better than the stock tires. Seems to eat up small bumps better.

Assuming you did an LT275 and not a P metric. According to the TRA tables
Front needs 50psi to make 2680lb per tire for a total of 5260 which is what my 18 front axle is.
Rear needs 40(2280lb) to 45(2465lb) empty. You might even be able to go to 35(2080lb). Since my 18 is a DRW I don't have real weights for a SRW. I would run 5-10 psi above the above pressure so you don't need to watch pressure change due to temperature getting colder as tire pressure drops 1 psi per 12F temp change.

Your TPMS will trigger below 65(3195LB) rear if you have a 2500.

I have a 1500, as you can tell from the pictures. I ran my previous set of stock tires at 35 psi. Which is what was recommended by the dealer as I asked them when I had the tires rotated. They wore evenly, but I tow the above pictured camper, so they wore quickly in my opinion. I upgraded to LT tires yes. When towing my camper, I will probably bump up to 50 and see what it’s like.

Looking good! I've got 275/65R20's on my truck and think it is a perfect fit and look for stock/leveled trucks. My tires are Toyo Open Country ATII and I have ran them at 40 for 36k miles and seems to do well.

Looks Great...and thanks for your service !
Hello man
I am sorry for this question that is totally unrelated to this thread, I see your RAM has the same color than mine, but for some reason the label in the door jamb is not there, what would be the color code? Thanks for your help in advance! If I recall correctly, the window decal of mine said Stinger Yellow Clear Coat.
