    Hey everyone,

    I have Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 295/70/18 on Method Rims. I’ve been getting various answers on my research.

    What’s the best PSI to run at for normal every day driving?? Bed is almost always empty.

    I run about 40 (on lot of highway driving) or 35-30 in the city, the farther my tires wear down I'll drop them more and more to accommodate traction loss

    currently running 33s, but about to switch to 35s and I think I'll be sticking with the same psi

    If you can do the "chalk" test, I did and it helped to figure it out.

    Factory numbers are not for LTs. Mine came with BFGs and a supplemental sticker that reads 46. I run 50 in BFG KO2s. I just replaced the original tires at 70k. I could have gone another 5k but deer season is getting close. I was going to go with a different tire but the BFGs were about the only choice in the size I wanted. That is if I wanted a LT.

    35k…..or 35,000 miles.

    I clean when I wash the wheels and tires then follow up with Chemical Guys Bare Bones undercarriage spray. I am also meticulous with cleaning. I will literally dedicate a day to removing all 4 tires and degreasing, touching up and cleaning all the exposed parts. I even get under the truck and clean the frame and body of any caked on dirt to prevent pockets of moisture.

    I get a little crazy with it but I can’t help myself. Lol. I keep vehicles for a while so a little bit care goes a long way. Especially when it’s trade in time and a 7-10 year old truck still looks and drives like brand new.

    45psi on my Falken Wildpeaks ATW3 (275/55R20).

    I started using a thermal IR gun to optimize the pressure.

    LT's should be run at 15 PSI over what your P-Metric Tundra recommends, period.

    See Classicat's post above, or other expert advice from the tire manufacturers themselves.

    35 PSI seems to be the sweet spot for me.

    I have the exact same size tires in Toyo Open Country AT III on my ‘17 DC.
