LT265/60R20 Tire PRESSURE??

anyone running the above listed tires on there lt duty trucks? if so what amount of air pressure are u running for everyday use, no loads or towing? tire rated for 80psi but seems a little to much for normal driving conditions. Any suggestions on a psi for normal driving? load E range 10 ply and truck is a ram 2012.

    If you know the axle weights, you can look up in a table from the tire manufacturer (or really any maker of the same size and type and weight rating of tire) and see what the appropriate inflation pressure is for your weight. 80 psi would only be appropriate around the maximum rated weight capacity of the tire, which I'm pretty sure you're nowhere near in everyday running around.

    If you don't know the axle weights, the door sticker would give reasonable information for the maximum payload of the truck, if these are the stock sized tires for the truck.

    Curb Weight
    5,342 lbs

  • Not that tire but a lot of people run the 80# tires at 65# if your tpms system will allow it without an alarm.
