TV tire pressure?
Just replaced the worn out stock Goodrich Rugged Trail "E" tires with Michelin Defender LTX. Of course the tire place did not fill to the right pressure....Ford says 55/60. Which go me thinking......

figure this one out
OEM tires ,2205 max load at 35 psi max pressure, door sticker 35 psi,
replacement tires 2337 max load at 51 psi max pressure , if i run these at 35psi per the door sticker the load chart says 1604 pounds of weight, for me to get back at 2205 load i have to run 48 psi in the tires,
so do i run the truck manufactuers tire pressure of 35 psi or the tire manufctures pressure of 48
The pressures are only valid for the application listed on the label. Once you change the tire size, the pressures are no longer valid. Due to the number of variables involved and the lawsuits...the vehicle mfg position is likely that you should not be changing the tire size from what was provided at the point of sale, so one needs to utilize our best judgment.
The tire mfg and/or the TRA provide minimum pressures are based upon a number of assumptions/limits...its up to the consumer to determin if they fit within those assumptions/limits and that it's an appropriate number.
