Good question. I'm running the same tires and did the chalk test and I'm running 29 pounds in mine. I had to reduce my TPMS threshold to 25 pounds.

Did you do the chalk test? I was 28 front and 26 rear when I ran those.

I have not done the chalk test. I run empty half the time and fully loaded with camping gear the other half. When loaded down it rides much better

Ok, dropped them down to 28 PSI and went for a test ride, much better.

They offer a military discount. And if you wait for a holiday they usually do free shipping.

I was about to purchase their fenders. got military discount -75 bucks. was ready to pull the trigger, until I saw $168 for shipping. total price came out to $1,668. that's nuts. they could offer free shipping for purchases over $1000.

I think northridge carries metalcloak now and you should get free shipping with them.

Northridge does offer free shipping but their prices are high to cover the cost of shipping. Out the door you end up at about the same price.

The only way to get a killer deal is wait for free shipping from Metalcloak
