I think my truck calls for 65 front and 80 rear. That sounds kind of high.But that is with 245 tires I have 265.

Usually that number is the MAX pressure, not the recommended amount.

For my 265s, rated at 45 PSI max IIRC, I run usually around 36 PSI. Any more or less, the tires start to wear strangely.

Do you tow on a regular basis, if not I would lower the psi down some will help smooth the ride a little a downside though it might lower mpg. Do you have E load range tires, because thats past the max of most tires
