Appropriate PSI when switching from stock tires to larger BFG KO2's?

I assumed that's what you were doing with it. Thanks for the info!

 

So what about the diff between front and rear weight?

 

Good question.
Ideally, you would want to get your truck weighed, front and rear, to find your individual gross axle weights. Divide each axle by two and you have your individual tire requirement.

 

im thinking of the same setup for my silver 2016 OR 4x4.....not worried about rubbing without a lift???? post a photo and tell me what you think when u get it done please ! aloha

 

I have verified through research that this configuration will cause no rubbing issues. I had toyed with the idea of a leveling kit for the front but honestly with my Leer shell and my tools back there she rides dead level as is. I will post pictures tomorrow, weather permitting.

 

Wow great info!! Thanks for taking the time to break it down for us. I've never actually seen how it's calculated before.

 

Thank you for all of the valuable info splitbolt. I am going to have the tire shop fill to 37 and then i will do a chalk test and make sure that that works with my rig and payload configuration.

 

I run my tires Nitto G2 load C at 35F 34R - after a few miles they heat up and read 37F 36R or very close, ride great and even wear.

 

Pics as promised

 

I run 35 front, 33 rear in mine. 35 rear and I was not getting contact on the outside edge of the tires.

 

I have 265/70/17 ko2s on TRD pro wheels and there is rubbing on the mud flaps

 

That's neat..... I guess. You will notice in my pictures that mine is "sans el mud flappos"

Sorry about your predicament.

 

Run 65lbs

 

Um..... wut?

Thanks for the advice.

 

Just kidding

But you can run up to 80 psi. Well atleast on the original TA KO's you could

 

I know on the load range e's you can. Not sure with these c's. Currently running front and rear at 35 until I can chalk test. Feels pretty good though.

 

thanks so much 4 posting! truck is looking epic!! looks like the new tire setup fill the wheel wells nice and match the truck way more then stock setup hows the drive at 35psi? notice any differance in driving or shifting of the trans with the new tire setup and leer top weight? thanks for all the great info and posts! aloha!!!

 

Looks great and runs down the road smooth as silk. Thanks for the compliment!

 

31lb up front and 29lb in the back on my KO2s. Size is 275/70. They quickly heat up to mid 30s

I think it's key to remember these are E rated tires designed for a full size truck being run on a much lighter mid size truck so in order for the contact patch to be flat and even a lower pressure must be run.

 

How do you measure contact patch?
