Air pressure?

Hi, I've received conflicting information from my local Toyota dealer regarding recommended air pressure in the tires. I have owned my Toyota Tacoma for about 1 1/2 years now. When I first had it checked out and serviced at the dealer here, I asked about tire pressure and was told to use what is written on the door jamb: 26 pounds in the front tires & 29 in the rear tires. However, when I recently had the oil changed I was told that they put 35 lbs. in all of the tires and when I questioned them, they said "that's what Toyota recommends now in all Toyota's tires."

I'm confused, the truck drives much differently with the higher air pressure and seems a bit jumpy on the road. In other words, it handles much more quickly and any road irregularity must be corrected with the steering.

What are others experiencing/recommending? I'm inclined to go back to the sticker recommendations or maybe just a couple of pounds more, not the 9 pounds more that they put in at the last service!

 

Your going to open a can of worms with this. Lol
What kind of tires
Ply rating
Tread pattern
Type of driving do you do ,highway, city, lots of hard turning...
I don't care what the sticker says on the truck. Although I never go below recommended pressures.
I always check the wear pattern and adjust from there.
Personally, I'm still running the stock A.T. 20's with 30,000 miles and enough tread to go a long way more. My pressure is 35 psi. I do a lot of stop and go, lots of sharp turns, and tow a boat. My tires have a softer sidewall and to keep them from rolling over in the turns and wearing the edges I run higher pressures
Every tire is different, driving style, location, route etc. Run a safe pressure and check your wear and adjust from there.
There is no substitute for putting miles on the tires to check wear and pattern. You change how you drive or where you drive the a pressure change may be necessary.
Personally a quick responding vehicle is what I like and low pressures makes the response lag as the sidewall squirm.
Have fun playing...
