Guys,
I just had my steering aligned and rotated the Tires. They are BFG 35 x 12.50 KM2's. I'm wondering if anyone else is running these Tires and if so what PSI are you running on the Street ? How have they been wearing ?

Thanks Phil

I am guessing you have 15x10s?
About 30 PSI is a good starting point. There is no single correct answer, too many variables.

There are various theories on how to check what is good. Chalk wear is one of the more common but I find it always shows you should have less pressure then what actually works good. Infered thermometer and figure how much heat it is making and where. Add pressure until temps quit rising, sidewals should not be hotter then tread.
Personally I go off handling. If it sways from soft tires, add air. When it gets rough and bouncy, less air.

What Bowsher said......

I'm running 26 front and 22 rear. I know it seems low but it works well for me.
Nice ride. Still handles good and such. If I go any lower in the back I pick up a little vibration at highway speeds.

I agree your rear axle needs to be pushed back2-3 inches...I have a 96 crewcab that needs the same exact thing...

I have been running 30 front and 28 rear the last few days. Seems to ride nice and handle well. I think the axle is fine it's just the angle of the picture. Phil
