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 51 psi of your new tires is a bit strange.
That is mostly given as maximum allowed cold pressure on a Standard load or XL/reinforced/Extraload P-tire ( or european system equivalent.
This makes me suspect the At-pressure ( pressure for wich maximum load is calculated up to reference-speed of tire) is lower.
This is for SL P-tires AT 35 psi and for XL AT 41 psi.
This then is the highest pressure you find in the pressure/loadcapacity list you read from.
This also makes me suspect your OEM tirepressure advice to be yust given for maximum load of tires, so the carmaker can never be hold responcible if you use lower.
So can you give me the exact sises of both new and OEM tires , so I can google for what kind of tires they are and so what AT-pressure belongs to that.
