45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80
2470 2680 2840 3020 3195 3360 3530 3640

so on rear, if weight is 6500 then I would only need to go with the 70 psi,
do I read this correct. I could go higher, but not lower

#1, your chart spacing looks great in the edit mode!!

#2. You hit the nil on the head, nice chart at least in edit mode.

a little disappointed with firestone
my ram came with the TransForce HT tires. when I looked online, it shows these as light to medium truck tire.
I went to firestone website to get the weight/inflation charts, and could not find one. ended up with a online chat. after answering a dozen questions, am told she cant help.
firestone is worthless.
anyone know where I can get the weight/inflation charts

Just type in your tire size and weight/inflation chart in a search. All tires your size and load rating have the same info.

Front tires add 10 psi over what the weight/inflation charts say. Rears 5psi over up to max.

Most people over inflated rears and under inflate fronts that is why most get 40K on a set.

But we want it to ride like a soft sprung Furd!

ZACTLT!

On 3rd gen take offs I would easily get 100k with proper inflation and 15-20K rotation.

I bought the below tires and wheels off a 2010 SRW RAM with 40K I have put 40K on them. The fronts had edge wear and the rears had center wear. They have even tread wear at this time. So this set of BFG Rugged trail will easily get 90k instead of 100+ because of uneven tread wear for the first 40K. Stamped date code (4210).

We have the Firestone Transforce AT and they will be replaced with Michelin Defender LTX M&S. Wearing pretty fast. Chris

I run a little over 60 up front and 80 rear. Unloaded I'll drop the rear back to around 60, although if I'm towing again soon I'll just leave it at 80
