    Alright gurus,

    Just got brand new 265/75/R16 KO2s, E rated. Love the tire, but can't settle on what PSI to run. It looks like the truck weighs about 3500 pounds.

    About the truck: 2001, Xtra Cab, 4x4, Auto, 2.7, no extra weight. Two inch lift. However, I will be adding a camper shell in the next month or so.

    Let me know what you think!

    E rated are going to be a little stiff no matter what, but a good starting point for your truck would be about 30psi.

    You can chalk test to confirm.

    On my truck (which is a fair amount heavier than yours) I chalk tested and ultimately ended up on 33.5psi front 32psi rear or there abouts with my E loaded 285/75/17's.

    Thanks. I have them at 32 now and they seemed decent. Thanks for the input.

    Stock suspension set up? How much does it sag with the camper on it?
