I can't help with the pressure, but I have these on stock rims too, and they are wearing like crap. Do you have the same issue?
Thanks

I just put them on so no idea. With the aggressiveness of them I would think they are a short life tire. Anything is better than stock.

I've got 25K on mine, and they are wearing great. I run max psi all the way around. Between the heavy front and the light rear, it balances wear evenly. The corners wear on the front, the middle wears on the rear, and all is worked out evenly in the end. 65 is max on mine.

I'm running the 285 version of the STTs on my Ford. I am running max pressure (65 psi), but even with that I have noticed I am eating these tires up. I'll be lucky to see 30K out of them... But the prices was right when I got them and they do look good.

I have the s/t's but I run my 35s at 45 front and 38 rear. I also rotate every
3k. Have around 7k on them and they are wearing fine. In the past running 35s, I've noticed the fronts wear the middle out more and the rears wear the edges out more, don't ask me how or why. I don't know if the stt's are directional but criss crossing them helps wear them more evenly.

you could eliminate the middle wear on the rears by dropping the pressure some, especially if not towing or hauling. 5-10 psi per side usually does the trick- that's why factory inflation recommendations are lower in the rear.

I have 19k on mine and they still look new. I run 60psi on the front and 50psi on the back. I rotate every 10k. Did a front end alignment when they were new.

Are you guys all on stock rims? I am running 50 front 45 rear. Anything less in the front steers a little heavy.

Right, but then they would all be worn off on the edges. I like square tires - I hate tires on trucks that look like they should be on a car.
