Folks with Hankook RF10's

Hey guys, just curious as to what air pressure you have been running. I have always run mine at near the top end 70-80psi, but was curious as to what others are running. I have the 285's.

Thanks

I am running about 70 PSi. I only have about 100 miles on the tires.

I have a question: I can not tell if I have a tire that is out of balance OR if the sidewalls are just stiffer causing a harsh ride. I do plan to reduce the pressure after a little longer breakin. How does your truck ride after the change to Hankook. I did increase the size to 285/70/17.

They do have stiffer side walls. Afraid to run to low of pressure though.

Shorbed, did you have any vibration in yours? I am running 60/60 and still get vibration it feels like my bed is wobbling. I just put on a set last week too. I started out at 70 rear and 60 front and it shook the bed bad.

Just got the replacement today and there is no more vibration. Very nice ride. A little harsher than the stock highway tread Michelin ltx a/s but not bad. I may need a better shock due to the fact the Hankook tires are a much heavier tire than the stock tire.
