Tire Pressure
Just curious, what kind of PSI do you guys run in your tires. I have 265/75 r16 load range D BFG A/T's i run about 35....max inflation is 65. Too low? How bout you guys. Tire size and PSI....

That does sound low. My LT265/70R17 LR C tires were marked on the door panel to runb at 36. My LR C tires on my 04 are supposed to be aired to 40. When I ran LR E tires on my 98 I ran them at 50. I would say somewhere in between 36 and 50. Probably around 42-44.
I was looking at some specs about Federal guidelines for low pressure alarms, and what you have in your tires would cause them to be going off.
Edit: Here is the site I was talking about. Part way down on the page is a chart of tire types and minimum tire pressures.
