You might have to post some pictures of it I am currently running at 35 and don't have complaints besides that it seems too little. I just don't want to over pressurize. I also think my rear tires have some sort of tiny leak. They seem to drop down to 30 psi after a few months.

I have never heard of 60psi in a passenger car or light truck tire. Maybe in a 10 or 12 ply 1 ton hauling 3 cord of wood. 60 to 90 in my Log truck. But 32 has always been the norm for empty highway driving. And after 3 spinal surgery's 28 feels better. At 35 or more don't it wear the center of the tread out first? I have 24 in my 33's with even wear and a smooth ride. And they crawl over the rocks better without chewing up the side walls.

Um i'm not sure really... I figured 40 and above would wear the tire but i guess even a little could wear it. Maybe i should try running in the 20s..

I always ran my load range D 33's on my trucks and Bronco at 35-50. The load range E's on my Excursion are at 75-80. Just play with it until you find your own sweet spot for ride and tire wear.

Haha, Mine is load range C IIRC, the sidewall i don't remember what it said the pressure was. I would need to look at the door tag to see if it states the psi.

Never, Never fill a tire and run it at it's max inflation as stated on the tire. Only run them as it said on the door sticker.

The new paint looks great, time for some daytime pics though So the door tag will be correct even with different size/material/age tires too?
