Default Duratrac Tire Pressure?

Discount tire just called, my Duratracs are in!

I recall a while back seeing a post about what tire pressure to run on these, but did a search and can't find the thread.

These are 285/70R17 (approx 33x11.4). I remember people saying the 65psi is way too much but don't recall what the suggestions were. Stock for now other than the new 17x9 wheels and the duratracs

Any help would be appreciated

65 psi is the MAX you want to put in. for 285's, i would recommend something closer to 28-30psi. a chalk test can verify this.

Thanks for the quick responses, I plan on doing a chalk test when get home but want to give discount tire a starting point. Maybe 35psi?

little lower and you'll probably be spot on. 33.5

I'm running 33psi in mine. I wanted to drop it down to 30psi, but then the TPMS was going off every morning (due to colder air).

When I had mine installed, I requested they be inflated to 30 so I can adjust as needed from there. The dummies put in 55 psi but no surprise there because I also insisted they don't use a torque gun to re-install and of course they did. Any how, I'm running at 28 psi now and everything feels good.

33x12.50x15 Duratracs on a 2 dr running 28 psi with no tpms-works great with load range c tires. Had 275/18 Duratracs load range e and aired them down to 26-28 for a better ride.
