Toyo tire pressure?

[Yo Hoot]

I started at 60 psi... way to hard of a ride.



Toyo Open Country M/T 35/12. 5/17



From experience, what is a good unloaded on-highway pressure that gives even tread wear and a decent ride?



Thanks

Mike

I have the Toyo tires, but they are only the 33" tires. I had been running 35-40psi and they were okay. My front end is kind of bad, so the tires were cupping a bit, but I've been rotating them regularly. With the 10ply sidewall, you can tend to run lower air pressures and still be fine. They are a hard tire, so they will ride rougher than some others. They are definitely better than your old BFG's.

I'm running about 50 front and 45 rear with the Kore Pace Wife likes the ride so I'm happy too.

I'm running 50 now but it seems too much.

i can't remember exactly what's printed on the sidewalls, but I think they can run down quite a bit on air. I think that my local shop where I bought them from had 35 psi in each tire. I went and bought a 10k pound 5th wheel and forgot to air the tires before hitching up. The tires were a little spongy, but even with gross vehicle weight of truck and trailer at 18k, it was still fine. I now run 65 psi, and the tires don't flex at all. If you're running it unloaded, I would recommend 35-40psi.
