BFG KM3 road pressure

[bpctaco]

just replaced my OEM 265/70/16 with KM3 265/75/16 what is everyone else running on road PSI?

will vary from vehicle to vehicle. best solution is chalk-line testing.

yea I was just trying to get a group consensus before I got crazy with chalk BGF recommend 40 and the 45 sidewall is 80psi

sidewall is max pressure... and since (I believe) those are load range E, you'll never need 80 lbs as you'd be waaaay over GVWR for the Tacoma. I personally run 32-ish in my E-rated tires on my 04 doublecab, about the same on my D-rated on the 4runner... and about 25 on my 37's on the xtracab… Star with the 40/45 and drop until you like the wear pattern

 

[bpctaco]

yes they are E rated
thats where I will start , Thank you for the info

That's about what I aim for on my 05 Doublecab 4WD, too. I have 275/70R17 E-rated KO2s. I think 40-45 is gonna rattle you pretty good.

 

[bpctaco]

ok I am going to start at 45 and come down from there. I appreciate the info guys

I have 30ish psi in my E-range KO2s. My 4Runner is so damn light that what you'd think of as normal pressure in those KO2s will shake your teeth out.

?

285/70/17's - been running 36-38 ish for a year or so. Offroad forest roads/wash board 20-25 depending on speed. Slow stuff and snow 12-13 PSI.

275/70/17 KO2's. I run 36psi for everyday driving, I could possibly go a bit lower, I might try it and see. For the beach/sand I drop to 20psi and on the trail/rocks I go to 15psi.

I run about 40 psi in 235/85R16 (E-rated) on a mildly built 2008 Tacoma. The chalk test and wear pattern is key. It's a little stiff but if I go lower it tends to cup the outer lugs.

Been running them at 40 hwy and 15-25 on different trails thanks guys
