    2009 4WD Reg cab Taco. Keepin it simple.
    So far I've added an Advance folding bed cover and since removed it. Gave it to my son in Maine, he has an 05 2wd. GT perfect fit seat covers. Weathertech floor mats and window vent visors. Waag center brush/grill guard. Hose clamp tailgate mod. Turned off the seat belt chime. Added Ultra-Gauge. Trailer hitch. Softopper. Replaced sun visors with slide out style. Toyota bed extender. Had Firestone Destinations and now Michelin LTX AT2 in stock size. More mods to come; Fog lights, locking storage in bed, intermittent wipers. Now looking for Radio/HU upgrade. and maybe a lift way down the road.
    Baby got new shoes. Yesterday actually.

    Dealer had the air pressure set for 35psi. Sidewall says 44psi. The sticker inside the door say 30psi. The ride at 35 is smooth. I just put them up to 44. I can feel the difference but still a good ride.

    Whats the opinion on where I should keep the tire pressure ? 95% paved road driving year round.

    Firestone Destination AT 245/75/16

    Sidewall rating is usually the maximum, best to go with the rating on the door sticker.

    Do you do a lot of straight driving ???? 32 or 33psi
    Rural roads with lots of turns 35psi

    44 is way to high unloaded
    30 is ok but I find a little quicker edge wear and a softer feel in the steering wheel to me.
    Also 30 psi in my area to soft for my customers.
    I run 35

    I run 30psi on a gen 1 - Michelin LTX M. NY is riddled with pot holes. If I run 35 psi I bounce all over the place. At 30mph & 35psi I can swing the back around somewhat on a normal corner cause the rear gets air. Hate the roads.
