What is everyone running their psi on these e rated tires? I have been running 40psi and was told that is low from someone on the forum. I went to Discount tire and they told me the psi was right and could run up to 80psi if towing. My question is what is the proper psi on a half ton with E rated tires not towing????

I run 42-44 on my Load Range C tires. I would probably run a bit more than 40 in Load Range E. Just because a Load Range E tire can be inflated to 80 psi, doesn't mean 40 psi has the same capacity as 40 psi in a Load Range C or even a P tire. There was a chart somewhere I am trying to find that showed different load ranges and their capacity at certain inflation pressures. It wasn't exact as this but say a Load Range E tire has a capacity of 3000lbs inflating it to only 40 psi made it's capacity only 1500 lbs where as a P tire might have 2200 lbs at 40 psi and that's it.

40psi should be fine considering that these trucks only come with D/8 ply tires. For comparison sakes on my 2004 Doge Cummins Crew Cab Long Bed I ran my E-Rated MT's at 65/68psi

Thanks guys, I was told to run no lower than 60 or I'll get bad wear. So far 7500 in they look ok but then again 7500 is nothing especially when you rotate every 3000

Been wondering the same thing. Discount also inflated mine to 40 psi but the fronts almost look a little low. I have read where a couple guys are running around 55 in the front and 50 in the rear. I'm going to play around with it the coming weeks and see how the ride is affected.

Go down to page 13.

While they don't have your specific tire size listed it is pretty easy to conclude that at 40psi the tires load capabilities match that of 8 ply tires.

to be honest the ride is great. The only thing is the tires are meaty so as your start to accelerate from a stop like you get that roughness. But the ride is plush and smooth. My brother has a 2500 Chevy diesel and when I ride in his with the same timers it's a tank. The suspension is stiff and you feel everything. My truck however kept the factory ride.

I have always had all black. So I decided to switch it up and try the Iridium, pretty happy the way it turned out. My biggest complaint about these new trucks, is the damn paint is ridiculously thin!

 

Which lift mods do you have? I like that it's lift but not leaning backwards like almost everyone else's lol.

I'm running a McGaughys 7-9" Black SS lift set at 7". 20x9 -12 Rockstar II's and 35x12.50 MTZs.

 

I don't like the SoCal look either.

    • Thanks JR that would be great if you could do that !!! Do you have a link to where this was discussed before ? I cant seem to find it  Thank You Again !
    • Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning. 
    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
