28-30 street

15 offroad

Some crack head tire shops fill these things to the max pressure on the side of the tire which makes them ride like you are on rocks

30-35 on the street, 15-18 depending on the trail. This past week in Moab I was running 18 and it was a perfect!

I run 40psi on street highway, usually 12-15psi off road.

No signs of irregular wear. Noticeably better mpg than when I was running 35psi on them.

I run 28 PSI on road (as determined by the "chalk test") and off road typically 10-14 PSI (as determined by the "kidney test").
These are Toyo 35's on Procomp 17x9's.

Today I got my 35'' Toyo mt and my 20'' addicts. They were delivered balanced and mounted. Due to all of my excitement I never took the time to check the tire pressure , during the first moments of driving i was like holy %$#@ this this ride is so hard i cant take it . Several moments later with my new 3 dollar kmart tire guage checked the pressure and it was 60 lbs I aired down the tire to 40 lbs and the ride was awesume . for a while there I was regretting getting the wheels and was wishing I had left things alone . over the next few days I'll mess around with different pressures to see what works best . sorry for not having pics but i will be posting some soon. also the lift i have is a 3'' BDS and I couldn't be happier
