Just got new tires. Old ones were 245 new are 265. Pretty sure they filled them to about 70 psi... New tires are rated at a 80 psi max. It rides like **** and I feel every crack bump etc. Do I leave them at the pressure they set them at or should I stay true to what's in the door jamb?

70 is way too much. Only time you would want to run them that high is if you are hauling a heavy load

Fill them to recommended pressure on the door jamb. Keep an eye on the wear on the edges and adjust from there. My guess if +5 psi for the oversized tire

your best bet since you changed the size is to research it since you changed them you cant always go by door jam my advise call the whoever makes them and talk to them. But if it calls for 50/80 try that if they all have 70 then ya front is to high and back is to low
