Im just curious what tire pressures people are running with load range E tires (stock size)

Im currently running 50 up front and 45 in the rear but the fronts look like they are squattinga bit much. The max pressure on the tire says 80. Im just wondering if I should bump it up to 60 or so.

 

I run 50 in mine. I wouldn't air mine up untill I tow something. I have been thinking about lowering mine to 45psi because not all of the face of the tire is touching the road. I dont want the center to wear more than the rest of the tire.

 

I was a little confused as to what to run as well since getting my new tires. It say's 80 on the sidewall, but I think I'm running at about 70. I'm curious as well to see what the right pressure to run is.

 

98.5 ctd 2500 4x4 utility box w/cabover camper 65# ft and rr, if i go any more it ride like a pogo stick.

 

ran 40# for a while and noticed some weird wear on the outer part of the tire. pumped them up to 60 all around and all that wear is gone.

 

yeah I see the outside of the tread is getting a bit of wear.

I'll bump it up to 60 and see what happens.

I also had some vibrations. The tech who put my tires on at the dealer only put 35psi. Once I saw that I bumped it up to 50 and the problem was gone. I think they were at a low enough pressure that the tires actually flat spotted. Because after driving it for 5-10 mile the vibration went away.

 

98.5 4x4 here too. Running 65# in the front, was running 75# in the rear (door says 65/80) but the rears were wearing in the middle, now I've dropped the rear to 70# unloaded, 75# when loaded heavy.

 

What the door says. 65 front and 70 rear.

 

When towing... 65 front, 80 rear... drop to 55 front, 65 rear empty.. 48k miles and wear is even all around (rotate and check balance every 5k)

 

I'm curious as to why you guy's run less air in the fronts. Since most of the weight is up there, I'd think you'd need more air in the front, and less in the back.
