    I have 20" wheels with 35" ridge grapplers and want to know what the correct tire pressure should be ? The tire shop seems to think whatever is inside the door is what it should be but thats not what im running because it doesn't make sense!

    Thanks in advance!

    use this to get you in the ballpark, then adjust up or down a pound or two based on how you ride, payload, etc.

    The door sticker can suck my balls. I adjust tire pressure according to wear, driving habits and what I’m hauling. That goes up if you jump up to an E rated tire. I’m running my E rated tires have about 44-46 psi in the front and 36-38 psi in the back. That’s unloaded. I like a lot of feedback through the steering wheel. So far my 275/70-18s are wearing very evenly with rotation every 5000 miles. Minimal feathering on the outside front tires. I also go by tire bulge front to rear, so that I have a similar contact patch with decent traction for the rear wheels. You could also try it chalk test to get you in the ballpark as well as the link above.

    I feel that every tire and person is a little different on their preference. I started at 40 and slowly made adjustments until I was happy.
