Tire balance?

Some people think that by maxing out the air pressure, they will get the best performance and life. I don't run my air anywhere near that and I would not go over 40 in an E rated tire unless you're driving a F350 or a dually. Yeah, any more than that is dumb, but that's why I said MAX psi.

IMO, don't go over 45-50.

 

Mr. OZ you are correct! just went and looked at my work truck. they are E rated and tire pressure is up to 80 pounds.

D rated tires are 65 pounds or less.

 

ok, but if you dont have the correct pressure than you dont get the best of your tire. sure if you dont haul anything, then i would put a couple pounds below the MAX pressure. (cause when you drive you will actually gain pressure as you are driving.)

 

but everyone has different opinions.

 

You can't load enough weight on a Tacoma to justify 75 psi in an E rated tire

 

Run the pressure that gives you even wear across the face of the tire.

Otherwise you will wear out a set of high dollar tires quick, and any money you saved in fuel economy will be spent putting new tires on your truck. Any benefit to the earth you might think you're doing will be negatively offset by using more petroleum products for more tires.

Max pressure is the maximum for the tire. The spec on the side knows nothing about the vehicle you are using it on. 60-80psi is way too much on a truck of the Tacoma's weight.
