BFG Rugged Trail 275/65/18 tire pressure

[CORocks]

What psi are you guys running for everyday use on the stock BFG 275/65R18 Rugged Trails? I swapped my base steel wheels with the crappy donut tires for the alloys and BFG's when I bought my '13. My door sticker has the recommended psi for the small tires but not the BFG's.

Thanks!

I have a 2010 DC TRD with 43550 miles. I put 43 in the front and 38 rear or real close (i do not think every gauge is the same). I rotate about every other oil change and my tires are wearing about as flat as I would expect them to. By what I see as far as wear goes I should get 60 plus thousand miles out of these tires.

If you can give me the standard tire size, recommended tire pressure and GAWR Front/Rear (all from stickers on your door jamb), then I can give you the tire pressure(s) for the BFG P275/65R18 Rugged Trail tires which will yield the same Load Rating as stock.

That would be great!

Standard tire size: P255/70R18
Recommended Tire Pressure: 30 psi front; 33 psi rear
GAWR: 4000lb front; 4150lb rear

Standard tire size: P255/70R18
Recommended Tire Pressure: 30 psi front; 33 psi rear
GAWR: 4000lb front; 4150lb rear

Stock P255/70R18:
Load Rating Front: 2,280 pounds @ 30psi (114% of GAWR)
Load Rating Rear: 2,390 pounds @ 33psi (115% of GAWR)

New P275/65R18:
Load Rating Front: 2,300 pounds @ 27psi (115% of GAWR)
Load Rating Rear: 2,420 pounds @ 30psi (117% of GAWR)

By running 27psi Front / 30psi Rear with your new P275/65R18 tires you will have the same recommended Load Rating at each axle as the factory recommended for your stock tires.

Hope you find the info helpful.
