Tire Pressue

Hello All,
i have a 2018 tacoma with bf goodrich all terrain 265-75-16 and going next week on a very rocky road, lots of big rocks , what tire pressure would you think is ok, 25psi or lower?

 

E load rated? Stock wheels?

 

18 to 20 lbs to start, dont go below 10 to 12.

 

yes stock wheels, don't know the eload rated.

 

18

 

What is the rated load of the tire you have e, c, d, LT??

 

I have Flaken wildpeak at3 265 70 17 on a trd sema rim 7”. I always deflate to 14-15 psi and no issues so far. Did a lot of trips last year 10+

edit: they are sl rated

 

I'd do 20 if there's lots of rocks. If its really bad and slow, 15, but man does it take a long time with a small compressor.

 

Yeah it takes longer to inflate but I have a vair 88p and it takes just under 3 min per tire to inflate my tires back to about 33psi from 14-15psi

 

The load rating makes a big difference on how low of air pressure a tire can handle, so you should look at that first. Es and Ds can air down more than a C or SL tire. I go with 12-15 PSI for Es. Personally, I wouldn’t drop below about 20 PSI on a SL tire.

 

it is E load

 

Then you can go as low as 8, but anything in the 8 to 10 range is really risky on popping a bead. I would start at 18 and maybe go down to 12. Just remember the more air out of the tire, the more likey you are to damage a wheel/rim if traveling too fast.

 

tahnk you for all the replies.
