What pressure are you running in your KO2's?

Just as the title states, what pressure are you running in your BFGoodrich KO2's on road/off road/snow/beach?

I've played around a little with the pressure in mine and settled at 40 psi in all 4 for road driving. I have been off road with them but it wasn't gnarly enough to air them down.

Discuss!

 

are those 265/75/16 ?? also any lift there ??

 

40 psi (285/70/17 - E rated)

 

Chalk test them is the best way.

My C range BFG KMs only needed 30psi front and 28psi rear. On my lightweight regular cab. Slightly mushy feeling but the ride is great.

 

40psi on the road, and my trailhead deflators are set to 18 psi for the beach, I'll know if that's good enough for them in the next week or 2. Stock rugged trails were good at 18 in the sand.

 

Yeah E-Load tires and 2.0" front 1.5" rear lift

 

I run my tires according to the plate on the inside drivers door panel. I believe my tundra calls for 28 psi front and 30 rear. This is toyotas recomedations for best performance. I would not air down or up unless conditions change.

I would not suggest 40 psi unless you do a chalk test and they pass. I have ran mine at the tires max psi in the past and have noticed over the years they tend to dry rot much quicker.

Max psi is max psi, not everyday driving. You ay get slightly better gas milage with the tires at max, but they will wear more quickly or right in the middle tread if your not carefull.

Chalk tested mine at 30 back and 28 front and tire tread has even contact with the cement.

 

Which is fine if you're still with the P-rated or LT rated tires from the manufacturer. In my case I'm running LR-E tires which are happiest around 40-50 PSI. The door jam information is only for the stock tires, might as well throw it away if ya switch to a different load range...

 

The tire shop set mine to the door plate pressures when I bought them, and they were burning up the outsides. K02's - E-rated. I've been running them at 42, since.

 

The fellas at Discount Tire told me to run 40 PSI in my truck. Tires are load range C.

 

Now your making me wonder what mine are. Can't find the load rating. They are bfgoodrich rugged terrain t/a. Probably closer to a stock tire than ko2's.

So is your max tire psi 50?

 

For my Cooper AT3 in load range E the maximum cold pressure is 80 PSI, course I run nothing close to that. I've found that 40-45 PSI gives a good compromise on even wear, ride quality and mileage. Course thus varies by tire...
