Tire Pressure

What is everyone running air pressure wise in your tires? I'm running 55 in my fronts and 60 in my backs.

My tires call for 80PSI...but when they were filled that much....my truck swayed and felt VERY unsafe. I wonder if 55-60 is too low. Anyone know?

I think I make it whatever I feel like at that time

Seriously I think mine are the same as yours. If I hauled all the time Id raise it to 70-80 but for what I do 55-60 is good

why do you guys run so low in the rear tires, youll get better mileage if you pump them up higher. front id run min of 60. i would never suggest running 80 up front though because tires start cupping relaly bad, as said i run 70 and that helps not cup for bad but i to have skinny tires. one of the biggest things that kill mileage in under inflated tires

i run 55PSI in the fronts and 45PSI in the rear...i tried everything and that seem to be the best setup so i don't wear tires due to the tires feathering, cupping and wearing out the center of the tire
