I am running 30 psi front and 25 rear, what deos everyone else run on the road and what pressure have you found helps your tires last?  :dunno:

Depends on your tires. If you're running Bias tires versus radials. I had a set of boggers that I aired up to 25 psi for a trip up north. they prematurely wore down the middle from being too hard. My next set was SXs and I ran the fronts @ 12 and the rears @ 10 around town and they wore great. Bias tires tend to crown with too much air. Radials tend to stay relatively flat. If you're running radials I'd saqy anywhere from 25-35 but it all depends on the weight and distribution of your rig.

Chalk the tires and drive say 100ft. See where the chalk rubs off and where it stays. If it is heavy in the middle, add some air. If it's heavy on the sides, let out some air. Takes a while but once you get it, you'll get the most life out of your tires.

i run 22psi on my 35" bfgs with 8" rims...ware pretty good.
my swamper sx i run closer to 30psi. i don't know how well these ware evenly.

word of advise...get a good gauge. it its consistantly off by a certain psi mark the gauge +/- how much its off by.
my old gauge was off by 15psi. i was wondering why i was digging in the snow so much...i was running close to 40psi(guage read 25). :mad:

happy trails

thats what i run on the street  and its about right for some reason.  i know its way low but it works killer and it keeps my death wobble to a minimum  due to  somewhat bent rims/no balance

heres  what it looks like.. 

for some reason my truck is light or somthing

You run 10-12 psi for the streets? do you only drive straight or never over 10 mph? both?

Tim (TURBO) runs like 20 psi in his 33" tsl's and I couldnt believe it. How do you guys turn corners? At 10 mph? Put some air in so you can handle the road and save gas mileage/engine life.

I turn just fine.  and i drive  curvy roads all the time to go to the snow and such.  and ive had the truck   up to like 75 mph and it  goes great.   must be the 15x8  wheels.    Every tire  and truck is different yanno ?   my buddy  has 33" bfg's  on his 83  and he runs 25 psi on the street while i can get away with 12 in the front and 10 out back.    :headscratch:

I just thought about this, at 12psi and lets say +60mph, wouldnt the side walls burn up and your tires melt???
