thanks guys, mprohr i'm running auto vent shade brand tail light covers .
blown thanks for the reply, i moved mine up to 40 psi in the front (275/45-20") and 38 psi in the rear (295/45-20") i was running 32psi lately but they just looked like they were running slack.

Damn Dude, I love it when you post pics!
That truck is sooo sweet!
What do you use for wax?
265/50/20's at 34PSI always look low but are wearing evenly...

You bet man, I just don' like mine looking low, lol. Plus the 40-42psi makes a really smooth ride. I have to be careful with wheel spin but other than that, good to go.

Who is the Maker and What is the Size of your Tire's?
On mine it says MAX PRESS 50 PSI but i keep about 35 PSI in mine, The MFG said if i want the Original load of the Stock tire that came with my truck then i should use 32 PSI.
Send the MFG of your Tires an email, Let them know the details of your tires, The type of Wheels you have and the area you live in for both Summer and Winter and they should be able to give you the proper recommended Air Pressure that you should be using for your area and the type of wheels that you are using and then you can make your best judgement from there.
Hope this helps.

I saw something a while back that may be on topic here. A method that the manfs. use to arrive at the pressures they recommend? It dealt with temerature rise. Seems like they suggested you go for either a 4 or an 8 degree temperature rise over ambient air temp (or was it pavement temp?) after running a few miles. If the tire was warmer, your pressure was low, and the amount warmer, directly reflected how much too low. The opposite true if it wasn't warm enough - you were over inflated. The article mentioned racing teams using the same method to optimize tire performance? Anyone else remember seeing anything like this? Sorry, wish I could remember more of the detail! FWIW
