BFG KM3

just replaced my OEM 265/70/16 with KM3 265/75/16 what is everyone else running on road PSI?

 

My basic rule of thumb with LT tires. Start at 32 and adjust from there.

 

I'm running 40 in the same size e rated ko2s.

 

Just sell em now and go to 255/85-16. I went to 265/75 for less than a year before I went to 255/85. Only partially joking, but yea I run 35-40psi

 

ok the side wall with 80psi have me 2nd guessing myself thanks for the info

 

Are you running stock suspension with the 255/85-16s

 

No I have the 2" OME lift but I think it'd be fine on stock (depending on your wheels) if you remove the front mudflaps and max out your caster to 2.3-2.5, I have stock UCAs so that's about the max I can get from them.

 

I will probably go with something bigger down the road planning on upgrading the suspension down the road also

 

that's max rated psi on the sidewall, I found 32psi is a sweet spot atleast for me with E rated falkens

 

I run 37psi

 

Love that Color PRO

 

Don't fill it anywhere near that! lol that's the max pressure before the tire explodes. I run my E-load coopers at 28psi all around, anything higher than 30 and it feels like you're sitting on a wooden roller coaster. Very bumpy ride.

If you want to find the pressure that you SHOULD have them at (which is specific to your exact vehicle) then do the chalk test.

 

That isn't the max before ethe tires explode. That is the minimum psi at Max load. Burst pressure is around 200psi, even higher on E rated lt tires.

 

I wouldn't go to 80
i was thinking in the 40psi range I was just getting a group pic of what everyone else is running to see if I was in the right starting area.

 

Yes I just didn't want to get into that thanks tho

 

This is correct.

 

no worries guys Im not going to run or go over 45 to start Its all good

 

I start at 35. The next time you drive a dusty road you will see how much of the tire is hitting the road. You want the entire tread surface to be contacting the road evenly. It's usually 30-36 psi on e loads.

 

Ok embarking on a roughly 5200 mile trip out west in a few days about 2400 of that is off road so I will have it to my liking on and off road after a few days on the trip thanks
