Default 35" Fierce Attitude M/T Tire Pressure?

I just got these and am trying to figure out what tire pressure gives best ride? I have a 3.5in Teraflex lift. Any help would be great. Thanks

When I did mine 28psi was perfect for them, but I would still run a chalk line to be sure.

Start at about 30 psi, do a chalk test and adjust from there.

Afpilot,

Anywhere between 25-30 seems to be where most people run their tires at. The best way to find out is a chalk test. Simply

1. Drive to a flat area. This can be your driveway or the street in front of your house. Just make sure there aren't a lot of cracks, bumps or pot holes.
2. Draw a thick, straight line across the width of the tire.
3. Drive the car forward at least one-full car length.
4. Inspect the chalk on the ground and on the tire. A tire with the proper air pressure should press the chalk line evenly across the ground. This means you'll see the entire chalk line imprinted on the ground. An over-inflated tire will bulge and only the center of the line will touch the ground. You'll only see a small portion of line if this is the case. If you're tire is underinflated, you'll see only the sides of the lines since the middle of the tire is not making contact with the ground.
5. Adjust your tire's air pressure accordingly

Hope this helps! Feel free to PM me with any questions.

-Zach

I run mine at 28 to 30 lbs

Funny thing: I left Discount Tire with them at 45 lbs and man it was harsh.
