Tire pressure

[bangon]

Bought some bf goodrich all terrain ko2 tires. Lt265/65r18. Putting them on my 2007 yukon. What should tire pressure be? I'm getting conflicting answers. Tires themselves say cold 80 lbs.

80 psi is the max the tire will take. If you run them at 40 psi, you should be fine.

Thank you. That's kind of what I thought.

I would start at the recommended pressure on the sticker in the driver's door jam. Not the max pressure on the GVWR sticker.

Tweak from there as desired for optimal ride and handling.

We have run that very tire on our trucks between 42-45 psi depending on tire wear. BFGoodrich's website may still provide recommended air pressures when switching from P-Metric to LT tires. Back in 2017 they recommended 50 psi and then dropped it around the same time I saw the center of my tread wearing faster then the outside.
