Duratrac street psi (load E)

I have LT/265/75/16 on the stock OR rim. I like 20 psi. 20 is where I start to feel good tread flex. I would like to try 15 but I just don't feel comfortable with this wheel/tire bead combo.

 

I'll report after my trip

 

Mother natures chalk test. Rain, and then some dirt..

Duratrac LT265/75/16, E's. Fronts cold at 36, rears cold at 31. TRD Pro wheels, I don't carry any extra weight. After 19 miles at 63 degrees this morning, fronts at 37, rears 32. 21.6 MPG, 2nd tank, same mileage.

 

I have same tire just not e load, I run 35 up front 33 in the rear for cold psi.

 

I find the LT, E load tires need a little more air than the D load tires do. I added just 1 psi to each tire cold, and I went from 19.5 mpg to 21.6 mpg. Makes sense to me, but I'm not an expert by any means. At 33 rear, I'd be too bouncy, I dont carry any weight, so I drop it down a bit for the patch.

 

My rears this morrning, at 31 cold setting

 

I run at 45psi on same tires
average 17.5 per tank

 

I just had a set of duratrac 265/75/16 installed on ORDC. The shop set them at 32 which seemed a little soft to me. I increased to 37, but on the rear I can see the side of the tread is not touching the pavement. I think the sweet spot is going to be 36F 34R. I'm aiming for MPG's and low noise. I hear a bit of a humming from the rear, I think one of them is not balanced correctly.
