Tire Pressure

My door label is MIA and I just put my winter tires on. What is the tire pressure supposed to be? Can't find it in the operators manual or the FSM. My winter tires are LT265/75R16 E, the summer tires I took off are 285/75R16 E.

I run 65 PSI on my E's

Some run the rears a bit lighter, but I like the simplicity ( if it isn't 65 PSI, make it so )

I set them the same as I run them on my 1st gen, 50 front and 55 rear as I had no other reference. I'll pump them up some more.

You should be good with your first gen pressures if you don't want to remember something new.... old habits are sometimes hard to change.

What I run in my E rated 10 ply 285's:
65 psi in front. 50-55 psi in rear. When towing my heavy 5th wheel I run the same psi up front and max out the rear at 80 psi.
