I usually ran my old 35" BFG MT around 10-12 psi with 15x8  & 15 x10's. But one run I did bend (3) 15x8 steelies at 11 psi. I have had them as low as 5 psi in the snow with no problems.


My 36 IROK's seem to really start to hook up about 5 psi or so. Just got back from a snow run with 50 miles of snow from 12" - 24" of wet crappy slushy stuff at 3 1/2 psi and didn't have any problems with my 15 x10 steelies.

i have the tsl sx radials 35x15.5x15's on a 85 to with 15x10 rims and i run 5 pounds in the rear and 7 in the front and have been allover the desert without a problem and i have great traction and on the street i run about 13 lbs i have yet to break a bead i am not shure or if the combo is just a good one but it seems to work for me
living in the desert makes toyotas
a musthave thing . so much desert to crawl in and so few gas stations.
barstow is great, calico and the hammers are both within a half an hour  drive.

But isnt 13psi kinda low for on the street .  I got a aussie locker in the rear with 4.88s and im wondering if the psi is kinda low.  shouldnt it be around 24 or something like that or maybe even 30 on the road.  Yah im located in elk grove and i got those axles on and im deciding on putting these axles that im working on with detroits and 5.29s so maybe i might even need to do more calibration.

I judge my tir pressure by how many tire lugs I have hitting the road.  I'm running 36in TSL radials and like 3 of my lugs to be hitting the ground
