    I noticed the other day that my back passenger tire is wearing considerably more in the middle than all my other tires. What’s the fix? I was thinking it’s the tire pressure and I could also do a tire rotation soon.

    That’s what I figured. Any idea what I should be running close to? I have 33x12.50r15 KO2s. I’ll probably just match the other rear tire.

    Look on the inside of your drivers side door, where the latch is, should state tire pressure there.

    I usually run about 35 in my front tires and 31-32 in my rears which seems to give me best wear.

    Keep in mind I have a 3rd gen (heavier truck) and a couple hundred pounds in the bed at all times

    I just checked and altered my rear passenger tire. I dropped it to 29 psi (from 32-33psi) to match my other rear tire. So, should I get my tires rotated soon since my fronts still have a good amount of tread and I haven’t rotated them for a while (but I’ll check for confirm).
