Baja TX tire pressure

Ok, here is the Email I recieved from BFG: So I guess 46 PSI it is!!!

We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing a stiff ride.

The best air pressure recommendation for the original equipment size tires is to use the inflation pressure as specified by the vehicle manufacturer which can be found on the placard located on the driver’s door jam or in the vehicle owner’s manual. They have determined the optimal inflation pressure for load, ride, handling, rolling resistance and treadwear performance.

Maintaining correct tire inflation pressure helps optimize tire performance and fuel economy. Correct tire inflation pressure also allows you to experience tire comfort, durability and performance designed to match the needs of your vehicle. ​

BFGoodrich goes by the air pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. You may want to contact Toyota to see if you could lower the pressure to some degree because of the rough ride.

We appreciate your business and thank you for choosing BFGoodrich.

Not Correct. Govt specs for TPMS is if any sensor drops 25% below what the system has been set for. Each sensor is treated separately, so you can run different pressures front vs rear. So, air up your tires to desired pressure, hit the dash reset button, and you're good to go. If ANY tire goes down 25%, the TPMS light will be illuminated.

 

I was just stating that the TPMS is set above 35 psi. they will trip when the tire is inflated at 35 psi.

Thanks for the info tho

 

It's 46psi, because TPMS light needs to get lit at 35psi for LT tires.

Apparently Tacoma TPMS does not know if you have LT tires. It is calibrated to go at 25% below set pressure. Hence 46 psi. 46*.75 ~= 35

By the book stock sized Baja tires - LT265/70/16 should be run at 41 psi front and 44 psi rear (assuming 29 psi/32 psi for P-Metric tires).

LT265/75/16E, a popular upgrade, should be run at 38 psi front and 41 psi rear.

The trick is inflate the tires to 46 psi, reset TPMS, then deflate to correct/desired pressure.

 

I know this is an old thread, but just now reading this! Great info here and I like your methodology for inflating to 46 psi then resetting light and lowering to desired pressures after. Curious where did you find the info on by the book pressures? Thanks!

EDIT:
I just found this website and it recommended exactly the pressures you suggested... 38 psi front and 41 psi rear for E-Rated tires
