Another tire pressure thread....

I just did a Kore lift on my truck. It now has 35" Toyo MT's on it. Kore recommends only 40psi front and 30psi rear for tire pressures (unloaded). What do you guys think. With my previous Procomp Extreme AT's, I usually ran at least 50 in front. And I know most of you run higher, but I'm thinking that's with stock trucks maybe? Thoughts?

I have the Kore Chase on my truck and ran the same pressures as you stated when empty. I raised the pressure to 55-60 when towing. I was raising and lower now I just leave it at 60 and I'm happy with it. I did notice that the power steering pump seems to work harder at low speeds with the lower tire pressure.

I usually run pretty much unloaded-figuring 600# in the bed with the canopy, dog, extra spare, tools, tire chains,etc in the bed. The lower tire pressures 40/30 are great for off road and around town bumps but I have found that I get significant tire wash when cornering/travelling on the highway at over 55mph. It just seems like the tire sidewalls have too much roll during cornering when aired down to this degree. It feels as if the truck is beginning to drift. This set up is awesome when running rutted/wasboard mountain roads though! When I have an extended run on the paved highway(+500 miles) I just run 50# on all the tires.

I run 46/38 with D rated 35s, pro comps and now cooper s/t's. I raise the rear up to 45-50 when towing. This combo keeps the side tread block wear in line with the center.
