New Truck

I'm now the proud owner of a 2006 F350 PSD SRW. So far, so good. I do have one question that current owners may be able to help with however.

This truck has 18" wheels and 275/70 load range "E" tyres. I can't find an inflation pressure vs load for this size of tyre, so I wanted to know what other owners use for pressure when they are running unloaded. Right now I'm running 55 psi all around.

If anyone also knows of a pressure vs load for this size of tyre maybe they could point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Willym

Manufacturer recommends 60psi in the front and 80 psi in the rear for the 4X2.

Congrats! and welcome to the forum!

I run 60LBS in my tires as well. I wouldn't think you would want to run any less on a PSD. There is a LOT of weight up front! That's why it looks like your tires are low on air in the front. At least, that is what I thought when I got my new truck home!

Look in the lower door jamb of the drivers door. There is a tire inflation sticker.

The sticker on the door jam gives the pressure for the fully loaded condition. This gives a harsh ride when you travel unloaded, hence my quest for a load vs tire pressure table.

When I had the original tires on mine, I ran the front at 47 and the back at 42. When I did have stuff in the bed or towing, I would go up. With the PSD, you have the extra 400 lbs, so you may want to go 50 up front.
