I run 35 with my Goodyear wranglers for the best tire wear along with regularly rotating. I know tires are different, but don't you get the middle of the tires wearing.

 

I rotate regularly as well. These are new tires and I asked the guys at the shop (all they do is tires) and was told that is the correct pressure for these tires on my truck. I haven't noticed any appreciable wear on the centers in the 2 months they have been on the truck. I am going to keep an eye on them and see what happens.

 

Yea, keep a watch. I only said something because usually a psi that high is when fully loaded or towing you know. Just sayin' that's all.

 

I totally understand and thanks for the concern . I really don't tow and rarely haul more than trash to the local dump...sorry "Solid Waste Convenience Center".

zman...one more question....my new neighbor wants to level his truck and wants to know how to measure to find out how much he needs to life the front end. I was always under the impression that you measured from the center of the wheel well arc in the bottom of the fender to the ground to get that information. Do you know?

 

thanks for the funny this morning... sounds like a good way to not forget that lights on.

i measured from the top of the tire to the center of the wheel well. is his truck 4wd or 2wd?

as far as tire pressure goes... what load range is it? mine are load range E and have a recommended tire pressure of 80psi. if i run 35lbs the tires sway alot in curves and high winds. right now i am running 65lbs.

 

His is a 2 wheel drive. My tires are load range D

 

IIRC, I think JasonW had a good way. You measure in between the cups where the coil springs seat, first. Then raise the truck by the frame until you are happy with the height and measure again. I can't find the post, but use 2 jacks, one on each side front.

 

Sounds good to me...thanks

 

Just so long as you know, the recommended psi on the tire is with a full load on the tire/truck, which is probably why you run 65 psi. Same goes for the psi on the door jamb with factory tires. BTW, I hate the Goodyears, when they are done I'm getting Goodrich AT's or a set of Generals that are suppose to compare to the AT's pretty well.

 

Oh yeah...gotcha on that one. I am running Coopers now. Will never run Kumho's again. 2 sets both of which separated.
