Tire pressures for 2500 4x4 ?
Tire pressures for 2500 4x4 ?
Hi Forum. Noticed that my Michelin LTX M/S2 265/70R17E tires on stock wheel of my '04 Cummins were wearing unevenly ( I've not been good about rotating ) so I went for an alignment and rotation today. I like these tires from a performance standpoint, wet weather performance seems good to me, don't yet know about longevity. The gold standard for me are the original Michelin ( don't remember model but they were 245s ) that lasted almost 70k. The Toyo Open Country A/T that came next lasted about 40k. Anyways, I've been playing with pressures and lately I've settled on 50psi front and 35psi rear unloaded. Seems to make a big difference from the sticker 65psi front and 80psi rear. What pressures are others with 2500 owners running ? Below is a link to another tire pressure post that is relevant:

There might be another sticker on the door or door jamb, listing light load pressures. Mine says 50/40.
I use the same tire, in a slightly different size. I use 50/45, since I carry a fiberglass cap and some other stuff in the bed. Based on tire tread temperatures, that's just about perfect.
