Tire pressure when empty

[rbattelle]

Ryan,

Why did you change your pressures from 55 up front to 60/55. Just curious.



I run 65 front 50 rear on both trucks.

I'm always experimenting (with everything). I've experienced absolutely no abnormal tire wear with the lower pressures, but I wanted to reduce the "buldge" on the front tires. So I thought I'd try going up to 60/55 to see what happens.



In 1 day I've noticed the rear end is a lot harder on the kidneys over bumps. I'll probably drop the rear back down to 50. I can't notice any particular difference in the front ride.

42 Rear. 48 Front. Very good luck with this combo. You shouldn't have a dark ring on the outer edge of the tread.

Yeah, I too wanted to reduce the buldge on the front tires. Both trucks came from the factory at 50 front 50 rear. I bumped one trucks fronts up to 65 the first day.



On the other truck left them at 50/50 for 4500 miles and watched it closley. On that truck after 4500 miles, on the fronts, I started to notice (ever so slighty) some "cupping" or "scalopping" (for lack of a better term) on the outer edge. So I increased the pressure to 65 on the fronts and am now watching to see if it evens out or if I have Shock or alignment problems.
