Tire Pressure
Today I was checking my tire pressure and It is a little low. My truck had 245/70/17 tires, but recently I got new tires. 265/70/17. I'm not sure if I should go with the PSI that is on the door, or the max psi on the tires. The sticker on the door says 35psi, but tires say max 44psi.Should I still use the factory sticker, even though I have different size tires?????

RE: Tire Pressure
Max pressure on the tires means just that MAX, not normal.
If you are running the truck with a full load in the bed then run the max pressure.
For everyday use and light loads, run 35-37 PSI.
Any higher and you will wear a bald spot in the middle of your tire but get great fuel mileage. Any lower and you'll get 2 wear strips on the outter edges, with poor fuel mileage. Either way they'll run like crap in the rain.

I have noticed that fuel milege went down after I got them, but I thought it was because of a bigger tire.
