    I just put these on about 300 miles ago, so far I like them no problem balancing them go for it.

    Seems pretty low for daily driving. Did you chalk test to confirm those numbers? Not knocking you or your set up. I'm just curious so I know if I can use these numbers as a starting point for chalk test, or go with the standard 35 psi

    So what has everyone been running for pressure? I'm at 34 front and 37 rear because that's what They filled them to when mounting. Never done a chalk test.

    I hear ya I've always had them on 3/4-1 ton trucks but I like them off road for puncture resistance I guess sometimes you can't have your pie and eat it to. I haven't weighed my truck since the lift, bumper and new tires but I will and see what the difference from front to rear empty (-my fat ass)

    Yes it does. After chalk test I needed to run as low as 22psi on my muds for good footprint. Ended up at 28psi front, 26psi rear. 22psi was to low for highway driving I would think. Muds lasted a lot longer than when running mid 30 psi.

    Been browsing through the thread, will a 255/85-16 fit on a stock truck with no modification? or should I go with the 235 or stock 245/75?

    The consensus is Yes, for 99%. Some rub the OEM mud flaps. But there are a few that have had issues. Seems like there is a little more variance in Toyota's build specs than I would have thought.

    there not "skinny" compared to a 265/75 16 which is not at all considered skinny, but for their height maybe
