People w/ 35s question

[954paulo]

What's the tire pressure you run?

I had mine at 50psi and a buddy told me to try 40

Any input on this?

It all depends on what tire you have. In general you can lower pessure from what you ran on smaller tires because the 35's have a larger cross section to disperse the weight. Also keep in mind that many 35's are pushing the limits of the stock rim width and will pinch up or crown out on the narrow rim. Running lower pressure keeps treadwear more even.

Like rsc said, it all depends on your tire brand as well as wheel size and load range. Load range E you may be running 50+. My load range D MTRs I'm running at 27psi

Mileage improves if you keep them over 40. It does make the tire harder and bumpier on the road though.

27 really? 315's?

 

[3Hummers]

I run our 35" KM2s at 37 psi

36 psi on my duratracs. Tried 40 but wasn't getting full contact on the tread. Had about an inch or so on either side that wasn't making contact. Dropped it to 36 and it's good.

27psi on 37x12.5x17 on beadlocks

MTR kevlars load range D

I have mtz's I thought at 43 it was too low. I'll try it out at 30

45 psi with my duratracs. Any less and it feels too squirrelly in turns

Cooper AT3s, D rated, running them at 35 psi. They feel much less forgiving than I want, will drop em down to 32.
I run my truck light, no roof rack or anything heavy.

I've had several 35's and have always stuck at 40 for the road. Off-road in general 18-ish. Right or wrong.

That's my issue too

Thats because the Duratracs ARE squirrely in the turns! Mine were like that for the first 10-12k miles. Feels like the tread blocks are too tall. I switched to the Kelly TSR and despite using the same basic carcass, the different tread made a world of difference. I am at 36-37 psi on the 35" Kelly's, could probably stand to lose another 2 psi w/o problems.

35 inch NITTO MUD GRAPS here. Running 45to50 daily...and down to 20 offroad rock crawling.

315/75 Toyo Open Country M/T's at 32psi. I would prefer a higher psi for better mpg but anything over 35 on these leaves the edges off contact with the road and I'm not about to cause uneven wear on $1000-plus worth of tires.

 

[derian06]

Went up 1 mpg from 27-40psi on my 315 Km2's

 

[H32NV]

36psi on my 35" MTR's seems to be ideal. Treadwear is perfect. I will dial them up to 40 if I am cruising out to Moab on the highway, have not noticed much if any MPG improvement after that. 18 in and around moab/telluride/durango, I'm on beadlocks. 12 if the trail gets nazty.

35's do have more contact area with the ground, so it would make sense to run them a little lower than a typical 33.

When I went from duratracs to MTR's I had a whole different world of traction in the turns. I tried everything to make those duratracs have lateral grip, air pressure, alignment, siping. nothing. When I switched to MTR's I knew immediately. Duratracs ARE squirrly!!

I have the same tires a benlaud87 but in 35" load D and run mine at 30 psi on stock rims.
