    I have a 2020 SR5 stock tire 245 75 16
    Door jamb says 32PSI
    I upgraded to 265 70 16
    Do I still run 32PSI?
    Thanks

    Bit of a loaded question depending on driving conditions and intent, but you'll find a "MAX PSI" rating stamped on the sidewall of the tire. Stay under that. Otherwise, 32PSI should be perfectly fine or you can bump it up a little. I run 38PSI (hot) on 265/75R16.

    If they are truly a 265/70R16 and aren’t a P265/70R16, or anything XL or LT, then you run 30 psi. If it’s anything else then the appropriate tire pressure would be calculated to something different.

    I would imagine within a certain range it’s just preference. I run 35 and I like the ride. Goes well with the softer OR suspension.

    I keep mine @ around 32 psi.

    Did it with the stock 265/70/16 Goodyear tires, the upsized C Load 265/75/16 Duratracs, and now with my E Load 255/80/17 Wildpeaks.

    in the winter, I see them drop as low as 28-29 psi, until they warm up, and climb as high as 37 psi in the heat of summer.
