2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Tire pressure for oversized tires?

[VIPERBLUELX]

I've got 315/75/16 Baja Claws on my 2000 QC 4x4 and I've been running 30psi all the way around. It just hit me this morning that with the weight of the heavy Cummins on the front that I might should add some tire pressure for proper tire wear? Any suggestions?

What is the weight rating for the tire? I would think that the front would need to be no more than 5-10# shy of max pressure. Not much weight on rear unless you are towing. I always ran them lower to smooth the ride.



My Toyo's are only a D tire. I have to keep them at 65# to keep it from feeling squirrelly.

They are load range D and say 3195lbs at 50psi max.

I'd try 45/35 and see what that does.

I run max pressure up front in my BFG's. they wear fine, it's the backs that wear down like crazy, and I have no idea why. seriously, no tire spin, etc.

i run 40psi front and 30psi rear. my toyo mud terrains have over 25k and still have about 60% and wearing like iron. for 4wd's it is important to make the front tire as equal in height to the back tire. take a tape measure and measure top of wheel to ground on the rear tires then measure the same on the front. it will take about 15-18 psi more in the front to make the tire height the same. this helps when you use your 4wd and will take the bind out of things while using 4wd. just my . 02
