Low tires make truck look normal and rugged

Nice to meet all of you. I’m Sundance Pro. I just got my first TRD Pro Tacoma 2018, yesterday.when Was driving home from Los Angeles in my truck. I had to travel 360 miles to get it. Question I have: I don’t like th tires when they have low pressure. The dealer put in 31 pounds and it made the truck to low. As soon as I got home I Aired to tires to 44 psi. What does everyone else use.

 

Welcome to TW... Personal choice, more air means rougher ride...I keep mine at 35 psi

 

If you still have the factory tires just fill them to what the door sticker says. 44psi is probably the max lissted on the tire and not where I would run them normally.

 

Welcome to TW! There's pros and cons to both, you just half decide what you want to deal with. Higher PSI you'll get better gas mileage, but the ride quality will suffer and the suspension needs to work harder. Lower PSI gas mileage will drop some, but ride quality will improve and the tiers share some of the suspension duties by helping to suck up some of the bumps. Just make sure you don't go beyond the recommended max cold PSI. Same with running too low of a PSI. There's other pros and cons, but that's the short of it.

 

By the way, Larger tiers.... The answer is ALWAYS larger tiers.

 

welcome.

I think 44 on stock tires is really high. when they warm up it'll go beyond that.

 

Welcome!

 

Another thing worth mentioning is tire wear. With the pressure that high, you're going to wear out your tires in the center.

 

First off, I don't understand your title thread. Low tires make truck look normal and rugged. What? Please explain what you mean by that.
Second, what do you not like about 31 PSI? Hard to really say what you need when we don't know what the problem is.

Exactly what tires are on the truck now?

 

44 is way too high. Not sure about the 3rd gen, but my '15 Sport with 17's calls for 29
