    Op don’t want to deviate the conversation... more or less in the same theme... I just bought a trd off road with r16 and it has around 30-32 cold-hot temp and the door label says that.. but I tend to think that it could have 2 psi more to prevent wear on the edge... open to some advice..

    All Tacomas have a recommended inflation psi capable of supporting 2,149 lbs.
    A euro-metric 265/70/17/115 SL attains this at 28 psi.

    If you’re running 40psi cold they’ll rise with heat to appx 44psi (maybe higher depending on driving etc)
