Tire pressure question...

What pressure are you guys running in your tires loaded and unloaded?

I just picked up a F-350 CC LWB diesel. It has the 20” Michelin ATs.

Personally, I run 60 all the way around.
I tried 50 & even lower (with forscan) and developed a slight wobble at time when hitting bumps. 60 works perfect for me.

I run what the door sticker says to. 65 in front , 80 rear. I probably could get away with running 65 all around. That’s what my 16 called for. I was going to lower the pressure in the rear tires. But this 2020 rides better than the 16 did. So until I notice the tires wearing funny I’m going with the factory’s recommendation.

I run 55 psi all the way around unloaded. With the camper on the back, it’s 60 front, 80 rear.

55 front, 75 rear. Towing of not. I was running 60/80, but that was a little harsh.

I have no idea who the knuckleheads are that posted above me.

At least the folks here know their tire pressure. There are a lot of folks out there who never check. Hence the TPMS mandate....

No. You can thank FORD for the TPMS bullcrap...

"The Firestone recall in the late 1990s (which was linked to more than 100 deaths from rollovers following tire tread-separation), pushed the United States Congress to legislate the TREAD Act. The Act mandated the use of a suitable TPMS technology"
"Firestone argued that Ford's recommended 26 psi inflation pressure was too low and should have been 30 psi"

Ford wanted lower tire pressures on the Explorer to give it a better ride.
