So when I bought the Caddy it had the tires at I think 26 psi. P265/70/17 Goodyear Wranglers. Max load is 44 psi. So I put them at 44 psi to test things out until I had time to sort out the tire pressures.
Door jamb says this:
At 26psi, the ride was spongy and sidewall flex was scary.
At 44psi, the ride is harder than my Excursion, but tracks nicely.
I don't trust the 30psi requirement. I remember the early 2000's and Firestone incidents in Texas (was there and had a set of the tires).
What do y'all recommend? I'm currently at 38psi and testing. In the picture below you can kind of see where the outer edges are not wearing and only the middle is when at 44psi. I intend to keep lowering pressures until I get a nice even wear pattern, but still maintain a safe margin above 30psi.
Been a while since I had P rated tires...
