Thanks for the thoughts NmexMAX. I know warranty us always an in the air question with these kinds of things. I would imagine that 45 in 33s would be rough! I don't have a Goodyear table, but BFG starts it's listings for LT325/65R18 at 35 PSI for a little over 2500 lbs. Assuming GY is similar then y...

Actually I have to say at 55 PSI it hasn't been the least bit rough. I did take the time to research the load tables myself last week to be sure, and found that the OE P265/65R17 tires are rated for 2,337 pounds at 35 PSI. The new LT265/65R17 are rated for 2,270 at 50 PSI and 2,420 at 55 PSI. So in ...

Rims do have pressure limits, but typically it isn't a concern. I just finished airing up to 55 PSI so we'll see how it goes. Here was the quote from BFG: "Your original equipment tires are designed to carry 2337 lbs. per wheel at 35-psi. Mike, you are absolutely correct; your new All-Terrain T...

That makes since considering it looks like you are running much larger tires, you'd inherently run a lower PSI. I maintained the same size but moved from a passenger rated tire to an E rated LT tire, so it would need a higher pressure. I can't find the documentation anywhere, so thinking I'm going t...

Thanks for the quick reply! Due to the nature of my driving I was pretty set on LT tires - way too many rocks through P tires. I'm going to try the 55 PSI and do a chalk test from there to fine tune. Just hoping to hear someone else running pressures that high with the OE wheels. Seems like that sho...

New tires on stock rims...tire pressure?

Hi everyone, New to the site, but already enjoying the tons of great information here! I purchased a 2011 SV back in July, and after pulling into the driveway to the hissing sounds of a seriously punctured tire (stook BFG Long Trails) yesterday, I bit the bullet and upgraded to BFG KOs in the stock ...
