Tire Pressures
What tire pressures are you guys running? ??? I have the LT265/75R16E's. I think there was a thread on this topic before, but I can't find it. Later. 8)

Re:Tire Pressures
80 psi all around, because I like to load it up pretty good on occasion. I could run lower like the guys above, but the ride is pretty good now, and ride quality is the only reason to drop the pressure for on road driving. Running 235/85/16E's. For those running C's or D's, do not try 80 PSI, 65 psi max for D's and I think 45 for C's? Check the tire sidewall for max pressure to be sure.

Re:Tire Pressures
Thanks for the input guys. ;D Nothing like first hand experience. Right now I have 70 all around and it rides a little rough. 
I think I'll try 65 front and 55 back unloaded and 70 all around loaded with the camper. Later. 8)

Re:Tire Pressures
Mine truck came with only 50 psi in the tires and the outside edges started to 'feather'/uneven wear after a couple thousand miles.. I bumped the pressure to 60 all the way around and they appear (to the unprofessional eye) to be wearing evenly now..<br><br>I really didnt see that much of a deteriation in ride with the 10 psi increase either..

Re:Tire Pressures
If you look in the owners papers in the glove box, there should be a tire pressure sheet. I run 55-57 Front and 42-44 rear empty. With the 5er I put the rear up to 65. If you leave the rear pumped up empty, it really has an adverse effect on handling and ride. SNOKING
