I'm running BFG mt 35s and was wondering what some of you run for a daily driver that handles better and is economical?

 

Short answer...30psi

 

There are many variables, and a chalk test is a good place to start. 30 psi is a great starting pressure, and you can fine tune it from there.

 

Pressures really depend on what load rating you are running. If you have the C rated then I would suggest starting at 30 and looking for a crown in the center of the tread. If running D's or E's, start at 25 PSI. You will notice a ride difference at different PSI's but don't adjust the pressure purely based on ride quality. This can mask issues with your suspension and expose you to tire damage and possible safety concerns. What you want is an optimum pressure that gives you a flat contact patch on the road. However, it also has to be high enough to keep the tires on the wheels and prevent distortion at high speeds. This will give you the best ride quality and the best tire wear and protect that expensive rubber investment you just made.

 

Im running a BFG M/T 35 Load Range D. Ill start at 25 and fine tune from there. Thanks a lot.

 

I gotta have my 35s set at 35psi or my dammed tire light comes on........

 

Jersey_Devil, sarcastic? I hope so lol. I KNOW you've heard of the AEV Procal with 2,500 posts already, pick one up, adjust your computer to your new pressure.

 

Around 28~30 psi.

 

30 psi provides me with 100% contact across the tread. It does make for a firm ride though.

 

Get a paint stick from your local auto parts store and fing the right right psi for the vehicle. Do not just guess and wear out your tires prematurely.
