Help with Tire Pressure

I have 35 X 12.5 R16.5 with BFG all terrain tire on my F 250. I wanted to find out what others recommend as a good tire pressure for this set up. I am looking for a street tire pressure to maximize the wear.

Thanks,
Greg

Help with Tire Pressure

The best method is to draw lines on your tire tread with chalk, then drive a block...your looking for the chalk line evenly worn off. If its worn off mostly in the middle, your pressure is too high; worn off mostly on the edges your pressure is too low. This will tell you your optimal pressure for your rig and tire life...it will be higher in front then back unless you carry a load.

If your knuckles ain't bleeding you did something wrong.
