    I have some 295/70/18 nitto trail grapplers just wondering what tire preasure you guys are running in yours.. i know the question is going to come what do you do most of your driving on? well as you can tell by my truck its the road, not much dirt for this truck. the sidewall says max is like 80 or some crazy shit like that, but i dont want to be running them too low Im at about 45 psi. Let me know wht you think..

    I think you need to search for the chalk line test. What other people are riding on means almost nothing to you and your truck.
    The chalk line test will give you a baseline for your truck/tires and then you can adjust pressures from there for the ride/mpg results you want.

    Haha...not doing it...can't make me!
    I have the 285s of your tire, I run around 35psi

    The sidewall is stated for max....don't even think about running them that high!

    40psi should be max for an empty truck, that was a little too high for me. The sweet spot for these tires on my rig for daily driving is 33-37psi.
