Air pressure in Duratracs? 265-75-16

I want to see what everyone with the Duratracs is running for PSI? I have the 265-75-16.

 

I normally run 32 front 30 back.

 

depends on the load range

 

I inflate to the recommended psi that's on the driver door pillar name plate with all the information.

 

that is for stock tires. If you go larger size and different load ranges, that sticker goes out the window

 

Chalk test FTW

 

31.766549928 psi in each


call it good

 

I'm wondering the same thing. I got the DuraTracs 265/75-16 Load Range E, from Discount Tire and they put them on with 32psi. And my MPG went from about 19.5 to about 16.5 mpg. When I got my oil changed I asked them to fill them up and they also said it was supposed to be 32psi like the door panel says.

I'm with Yoytoda though, I think when its a different size and/or load range that door sticker goes out the window (because that's recommended for 245/75-16). I emailed the Goodyear manufacture to ask, but never got a response.

On my actual tires it says, "Max Load Single (3415 lbs) at (80 psi) COLD". So, I aired the tires up to 45 psi and noticed I'm getting 17-18 MPG. I don't want to over-inflate them, but if we could be getting better gas mileage it sure would be nice to know how much air is recommended.

p.s. KPT what is the chalk test?

I run a whole whole lotta PSI in that size. Egh like three or four.

 

I just had my Duratracs put on at Discount Tire, C load range.
They set them puppys at 42psi and said that was what they recommend I run them at for driving on pavement. I thought it was a little high so I will be busting out the Chalk Test soon.

Does anyone have these tires siped? Curious if it will help with the life span of the tire.

 

holy shit, mine are at 55 PSI and ride like fackin shat! they are 285/75/16's and are load range E. looks as though i will be deflating them to around 30-32... i thought 55 sounded high lol

 

id try 40 first...

 

I talked to good year 265/75/16 load C they say 35 is the minimum for the truck weight and to run 45 if towing my trailer so thats what ive been doing i have 25,000 miles and tires still look like new

 

I use mine on and off road about 32 on road 15 off road sometimes 12 if softer

 

I just had 265/75/16 load range C, Duratracks installed at Discount Tire.
They said they've been running these tires at 32 psi on all Tacomas.
I may try 35 for awhile and see how they act.

 

Maybe I should air up, I'm running 32 psi right now

 

+1, I had them on my 2009 Prerunner for 30k before selling. When Discount installed they filled to 35. Then on the second or third rotate they said to run 42. Wear was very even with 30k on them and the chalk test confirmed that 40-42 was good.

 

I just got the 265/75/16 Duratrac C installed at America's tire today and they inflated them to 35psi. I will be checking with the chalk test and report back.

 

I run 40-42 PSI on my 265/70/17 for on-road
