Re: Truck Guru's
that depends on the tire. most manufactures should have a load chart for various PSI. the tires i have on my truck, falkens, have a load rating of 2395lbs at 30 psi, 2680lbs at 35 psi. i could run my truck at 35 psi if i wanted for daily driving. their full load rating at 65 psi is 3970 lbs, which is what i run them at

Re: Truck Guru's
My truck is a 2014 4-door, 4wd, 1/2 ton pickup. Ram calls for 39 PSI in the tires.
The truck weighs something in the neighborhood of 4,000 to 4500 pounds.
Start with door sticker, then do the chalk test.While many claim to support the right, precious few support the practice.

Re: Truck Guru's
Regardless if tires were changed it will still have it on the tire. Different type tires require more pressure. Mine are LT tires that call for 80#max. I run 70 in rear and 50 in fronts.
Tires with a lot of sidewall usually run less air like 35x12.50x15 can run 30 or so.
Most vehicles today are running 20-22* rims with less sidewall and require max or close to max pressure.Today was a good day!

Re: Truck Guru's
that was part of the issue. ford and firestone agreed that lower the psi fixed the handling issue the explorer was having. that caused premature failure, however Firestone knew there was an issue and even supposedly ramped up production to try and decrease the percentage of occurance. one plant in particular had 10 times more complaints. that was blamed on the strike that occurred in 94-95 and the age of the building which allowed to high of humidity and the glues in the tires wouldnt bond correctly. the equipment age at the plant was also blamed. the NHTSA eventfully found firestone at fault and they had to pay ford 240 million.

Re: Truck Guru's
I hope your tires are wearing evenly. Try the chalk test, then talk.
My truck has P275/60R-20 (factory size), Falken Wildpeak tires that
are both All Terrain and All Season. They get the 39 PSI from the sticker
and my tread wear is always even.
It's not economics it's safety. I would not inflate to anything over the recommendation
for the truck weight and GVWR.
The tire manufacturer is assuming the tire has been installed on the proper vehicle and
no mods have been made.While many claim to support the right, precious few support the practice.

Re: Truck Guru's
And from what it sounds like his tires are probably LT and not P rated tires. If 70 is max pressure and he’s not hauling he can run less than max but definitely not 32 psi, maybe around 50. Again depends on tire.
