Tire pressure?

my Tacoma has 31 inch tires and their also wider than stock. How do I know how much to air them up because I would think that the specs on the dorm wouldn't apply anymore?

 

Look up the recommended psi for your size tire on google

 

I still run the toyota recommended psi reguardless of tire size. Ive found it to always offer the best ride comfort and traction. For years i always did the max psi on the tire, then finally tried the door sticker psi and have always stuck with that since. Especially with the tacoma since the suspension has limited travel as is thst axtra cushion from the tire not being maxed out psi wise makes a huge difference in comfort, much less spine jolting occurs!

Now ive always run a c rated tire with a max 35psi to, so the toyota psi isnt far off from that. If you run a tire that has a max way above that like 50psi i would of course run more psi, but certainly still not max! A tacoma is light, max psi dosent need to be used...

 

Good info

 

I just added a bit more to my last post fyi

 

Yup, my max is 50 so I may run like 40-45?

 

It should give you a max pressure/load on the side wall. Of course that's a "max". Mine show I think 80psi max, but of course I don't run anywhere near that. As Bry said, usually the pressure on the door is still a good pressure to go with.

Everyone is different in their preferences for ride vs. gas mileage, but you need to be aware of what happens when you run too high or too low a pressure. Too high, and you'll ware down only the center tread, too low, and you'll heat the tires up more, and wear down the outside treads.

Also keep in mind the loads you carry. More load = more tire squish at the same psi. If you always drive around with a rooftop tent or a load of concrete (lol) in the back, you'll need higher pressures.

I recommend variance 2 but to each their own.
