28-30 street

15 offroad

Some crack head tire shops fill these things to the max pressure on the side of the tire which makes them ride like you are on rocks

I run 40psi on street highway, usually 12-15psi off road.

No signs of irregular wear. Noticeably better mpg than when I was running 35psi on them.

I run 28 PSI on road (as determined by the "chalk test") and off road typically 10-14 PSI (as determined by the "kidney test").
These are Toyo 35's on Procomp 17x9's.

Today I got my 35'' Toyo mt and my 20'' addicts. They were delivered balanced and mounted. Due to all of my excitement I never took the time to check the tire pressure , during the first moments of driving i was like holy %$#@ this this ride is so hard i cant take it . Several moments later with my new 3 dollar kmart tire guage checked the pressure and it was 60 lbs I aired down the tire to 40 lbs and the ride was awesume . for a while there I was regretting getting the wheels and was wishing I had left things alone . over the next few days I'll mess around with different pressures to see what works best . sorry for not having pics but i will be posting some soon. also the lift i have is a 3'' BDS and I couldn't be happier
