Default whats your tire pressure?
I was just wondering what pressure everyone runs on their tires. I just have the stock rims and tires on my t/a and just wondered what some ppl used as pressure on their stock tires.

The door decal also tells you how much psi to put in them.

Unless you run tires other than what the door says to run, in which case that PSI goes out the window.

I say, if other than the sticker tire size, run what the tire SAYS

30-32 psi on original stock here as well. More than that = rough ride. Very even wear and no issues.

There is no tire rating on my doors, I always run just under what the tires say to put in. My stock firehawk tires call for 44 being max. I run about 35 or little over. Tires wear even for me.
