Default My 35 inch Toyos are C rated??? What psi should i run?

I recently got my 35x13.50x15 Toyos mounted and everything on my jeep and i saw everyone running 28-32 psi on their 35's but most of them were E Rated. I had no idea the Toyo 35 inch for a 15 inch rim was C...What Psi should i run these at? I have them at like 30 right now and am kinda pissed cuz they just barely measure over 34" so i didn't know if a C rated tire needed to be ran at a higher psi for on road use. Any info would be appreciated.

Well as for weight my jku is stock except for my 4 Toyos at 378 pounds and 4 Atx Slots at 74 pounds. Also, i have a 2.5inch teraflex coil lift that would add a little weight too. Other than that i have no new bumpers or anything. Also i'm looking at Toyo's website and it say for that specific tire the max psi is 35???? Is that serious?

Just do a chalk test. You want to get the tire where you have a flat contact patch. Being that it is c rated you will probably end up needing more than 30 psi

Besides being rated for a heavier load what is the benefit if any of running an E rated tire over a C rated tire? Seems like an E rated tire would be a rougher ride??? Don't mean to thread highjack...

I'm running E rated duratracs on a 2 door. At the 65psi that was put in them when new, they were like bricks. I'm at 30psi now and they ride pretty good.

They are more durable off road. Thicker sidewalls = more strength and durability. And they don't ride bad if you have the correct air pressure
