PSI for winter tires?

i put on a set of 265/75/17 with 44psi max. Just wondering what psi I should be running for everyday city driving.

 

29

 

Awesome thanks for the reply, I knew it was 29/32 psi for stock tires. Didn’t know if it was the same for bigger tires.

 

the reality is to chalk test the actual tires you will use on the actual truck, don't refer to catch-all's since everyone's load and tires (and often suspension) are not exactly like stock.

look up chalk test tires on YouTube

i run E's (ST Maxx) and run warm at 28 rear 30 front. on cold days it starts much lower and raises not so much. but the chalk test will tell you what your tires are doing in the contact patch, which is what actually matters.

 

I've never done the chalk test, but do pay close attention to the evenness of the wear.

Funny thing is that on my AC, it says 29 front and rear. I am running at 35 currently. Both ends warm up evenly, so that is good.

 

i have 265\65\17 and my doorjam sticker says 32psi

call the company who makes the tires and they may be able to tell you.

 

The Company will tell you to follow the vehicles recommended pressure.

 

which is determined by what tires are on the truck... my buddy has "street" tires and on his doorjam sticker it says 29 and mine are 32 on my door jam sticker, if you got different tires I'm sure the company could tell you how much psi you need to accommodate the different size tire.

What does your tire say, exactly?
Does it have a P prefix, no prefix?
What is the load rating number?

 

More often than not, they get it wrong.

 

Basically you want the pressure that gets you a 2,149 lb load rating with P or ISO metric tires. Or, the pressure that gets you a 1,954 lb load rating with LT metric tires.
