Oh boy "sigh" I think I may have just Fd up. After days of back and forth regarding a tire selection I finally pulled trigger and now I am worried. I ended up playing it safe and went with 275/60r20 ....so what's the big deal? We'll I selected nitto terra grapplers like everyone and their mother...... So? Well when I got home I noticed something 35 max psi! Wth? Did I magically select the kiddie version of the terra grapplers?

You should be fine. It's a truck application with a load rating of 2600 lbs per tire according to their site. You may need to lower the pressures to say 30 or 32 PSI cold pressure and have the TPMS reprogrammed to be ok with that (not sure if that's enough difference to cause an alert light).

It's a P-rated tire but that doesn't mean anything. Most of the 1500s have P-tires.

Even at a p metric that max pressure seems low to me..... I think I blew it buying these

Every tire is different in terms of construction so pressure between one and another is irrelevant. At the max pressure you're talking over 10,000 lbs of allowable load, so running these at 30-32 PSI ought to be fine.

You don't need a whole lot... I used to run 20-25 on my 1990 for dat mud performance. That said the max PSI for my old P metrics was 40 I think??

 

I wouldn't worry if the tires look good. How does the contact look? Too much tread on the ground? How about the sidewalls?

Well don't sweat it too much. I had P rated tires for about 20k. If you aren't on dirt roads they'll do fine.

If it makes you feel any better the OE Goodyears may have had a higher max pressure but their load rating is 200 lbs less at max pressure. You're fine.

Spoke to nitto they said should be fine no prob and that the tires exceed the crap stockers. Also said normal cold psi should be good to go at 32 for the silverado crew cab 4x4.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      New tires are on, Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT's in 235/75/15. $100 per tire, after $10 AAA discount. Plus install ($100), disposal fees, and taxes.   The new tires ride nice. Catch 22, new tires, I love it again! But I feel like I've been through the wringer with this rig, and maybe I don't need this kind of headache right now. Wait until tomorrow, I'll probably love it again and keep it another week.   Never a dull moment: Got a CEL driving to the tire shop, P0172 bank 1 too rich. Oh lordy, really? I've been enjoying an emoji-free dash for too long, apparently. I popped the hood at the shop and I think there was a vacuum leak very close to the intake. Cleared the code and put a bunch of miles on it going home, code never returned. My fix was zip-tying the line on the vacuum reserve ball because the hose won't stay seated. It's either that or the fuel pressure regulator has an issue again or an injector is leaking. See why I'm getting tired of this one?!   In the gas price thread I recorded 19mpg on the last tank in fairly mixed driving and some higher-speed highway (70). I also don't have the lower engine shield installed right now, and that would help with diverting a lot of wind underneath the truck.   Not too long ago, a green '96 4-door 4x4 came up for sale with less than 1,000 actual miles. There was a story there but it was real, and the place wanted like $25k for it. Would be fun to have a NICE example of one of these, but not too nice. The joy is driving them.   That's it for a while...family and social stuff all weekend, no time to play with my Hot Wheels in the garage for the next couple of days.

      $5.19 after Kroger discount for 87 today. Moses!   Somehow I've already put 560 miles on the Blazer with the last tank clocking 19mpg.

      Oil dipstick

      By Stu Katz · Posted

      I have a 91 GMC SIERRA 1500 4.3 liter. My dipstick broke. Can someone tell me how long is the oil dipstick. Local Part stores do not stock the oil dipstick. If someone can tell me the length. I can match up an aftermarket one. Thank you.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Assembling a Word Puzzle   A sentence in a famous sermon says:    “Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need, since the Kingdom of the heavens belongs to them".   Forget it was a sermon and forget its religious nature. Assemble the puzzle. What did he say? I'm only going to unravel the part underlined.... Keep it simple and out of the ditch. It's a word puzzle not a religious class. I'm not writing a book. Okay..   By saying that people conscious of that stated need will receive; the implication is that there are also people that are not conscious and thus deprived.   But this one sentence also says that ALL people have this need, not just the ones aware of it.   NEED will try to lead you to satisfying it. You're thirsty, you seek water. You're hungry, you seek nourishment. You're cold, you find cover. Lack of awareness is a choice. So when he says "conscious' he isn't saying simply aware but aware and active in satisfying that need.    That's allot of information for eight words. This man knew how to craft a sentence...   Give that some thought the next time you read an advertisement or a book.

      Gas fill door

      By snowblind · Posted

      My gas fill door does not stay closed. Not sure what happened, but it works its way to about a inch open every trip. Need a fix to this. 2020 Silverado 1500.
