Tire pressure
I just bought a 92 with 33x12.5 tires. I have no idea what to set the tire pressure to. On the doorframe, it says that the pressure needs to be 32 front and 41 (!) rear. On the tires (BF Goodrich All terrain TA), it says MAX pressure is 35 at (something like) 2500 pounds load. I cannot set them over 35 and I'm hesitant to set them at the MAX level. I don't do LOTS of hauling, just occasionally. Any thoughts? Thanks. Jim B.

Tire pressure
My 1/2 ton van states 35 psi front and rear, but i'm hauling close to a half ton of equipment. I've noticed after 10k on the new tires their wearing out a little on the out sides (under inflation ?)Will 36 or 37 psi be safe.

Tire pressure
This is a very frequent question. It is not always best to go by the door jam sticker. Here is a search I did under "chalk test".
