| Tire pressure?? Hi to all! Just installed a 2.5 SST leveling kit on my DC 2007. I put 285/65/18 BFG AT's on it as well. Does anybody know the correct air pressure to run in these tires??? The shop that did my alignment said to run 75#. but that seems high to me. Especially since the stock 275's only call for, I think, 30#. Any help would be appreciated. I certainly don't want to ruin the tires considering I spent $1200 for them...friggin ridiculous!!! Thanks in advance! |

| The BFG T/A's are a radically different tire than the light weight P-rated Ragged Trails. With T/A's you are going to need to run around 45lbs to avoid bad wear. I run mine at 50lbs, and boost it 70lbs when towing or carrying large loads.

| Rone is correct, the T/A's have a max pressure of 80lbs vrs 44 lbs for the Ragged Trails. The T/A's also weigh 13 lbs more than the RT's. It takes a lot more air pressure to firm up the sidewalls on the T/A's. If you run at what the door sticker says, you will find that your cornering ability will suffer a lot, plus you will see the outside of your tires wear prematurely. You just have to experiment a little to find the best pressure for the roads you drive. Another good thing about the T/A's is that you can air down to 20lbs or so on soft sand, dirt etc., without worrying about spinning the tire off the rims or tearing your sidewalls up. |
