Re: What tire pressure to run?
My truck came with 245/75/17 tires that the door sticker says 75 frt/ 80 rear. I now have 285/70/17 Nitto's. An email from Nitto states I should now run 61 psi front and 65 psi rear when unloaded. I'll bump up the pressure a bit depending on the load.767Views0likes0CommentsRe: What Is My Tongue Weight Given These Weight Slips

Tongue weights are typically around 10 percent based on factory dry wt. numbers and usually go up when it's fully loaded to average 12-13 percent, and for us almost 15 percent. It's hard to believe it's only 8.3 after fully loaded up unless "heavily loaded" is an awful lot of heavy tools or something in the rear of the trailer. It's a toy hauler with the garage fully loaded.453Views0likes0CommentsRe: tire pressure and blowouts

And yes my tire pressure gauge is very accurate. This also goes for the speedometers... some are off by > or < 5MPH. Yep. Best to use it as a guide, or a notification to hand check the pressure. It wasn't until I started using speed measuring devices that I realized the variation in speedometers. Allot of folks are realizing it now that more GPS units are being used.528Views0likes0Comments
