Tire Pressure
Hi all,
What do you guy's run your tires at? I know Ford says 55 up front and 80 in the back. When I run the front at 55 the tires ware funny. When i put more psi in its a harsh ride. I've got 235 85 r16's on it. Just wondering

I run 55psi all the way around. anything higher and it was wearing too much down the middle, at 55 it seems to ride alight and everything wears evenly. And I don't notice any squatting when I got my gooseneck hooked up.

Load range E's in 235/85 R16 and I run 80 f&r. Never know when you will have a load. It rides a bit more like a truck but higher psi also means higher mpg's. Not much difference in ride from running 55 psi though.

Sounds like its all prefrence, eh? My truck had a set of Goodyears on it when I got it, maybe it was just that tire that would wear funny at 55. I havent tried it since I had those tires, but those are gone now. I'm in the subs of Denver so it doesn't get super cold around here, around 0 has been the low so far, and its suppose to be in the mid 50's today. I have been running mine all at 70psi, and they seem to be wearing very well. Like the Grinch I never know when a load will come and I'm all about better gas mileage. Thanks for the input guy's! I feel like I'm not shootin in the dark as much now.
