    I have noticed that my front tire makes more contact with the ground since it has more weight than the rear of truck. If thats the case should i air my tires more in the front and less in the rear to compensate for the weight distribution? I don’t tow nor have payload and just do daily commuting.

    thanks

    There’s a sticker on the inside of the driver’s side door that tells you the psi for front and rear.

    Sticker says to run 3 PSI higher in the rear which doesn’t make sense to me since i daily commute with no payload.

    30 psi is a joke for the front tires. Your handling will suck and they wont wear properly.

    i have stock tires as well and run the fronts at Around 40 front about 36 rear. Much more optimimal.

    The factory tire recommendations are for a loaded bed, not daily driving.

    Isn't that why you rotate the tires every 6 months or 5000 miles?

    Do a chalk test to get the correct psi for your particular tires & weight. Yes, you’ll have more psi in front than back. YouTube for psi chalk test.

    I have 37 inch ridge grapplers and am sittin pretty at 36 in front and 30 in rear. It’ll be different once winter hits, so you’ll want to chalk test again when it gets cold & air up accordingly.

    I believe in the rotations yes but at the same time i feel like wearing the tires evenly just on air alone is more optimal for longevity.
