    I recently picked up some stock x runner tires and rims 255/45/18 bridgestone potenza and I was wondering what PSI should I run them on my 2wd access cab non prerunner?

    Take a look at the sticker in the door jamb and see what it says for tire pressure. That's one option.

    Another option is the chalk test...I'd use that for maximum traction.

    Another option is to go several PSI over what's on the door jamb, for better fuel economy, but at the expense of a slightly harsher ride.

    Try all of them (a few days each) and see what you like. Just remember to adjust your pressure when the tires are cold and haven't been sitting in the sun, so there is some consistency in comparison.
