Tire pressure - stock
 

What tire pressure do you run (for those with a stock setup)? Owners manual says 26 front/36 rear psi. That has always struck me as kinda weird so I'm interested in your experiences and reasoning.

Thinking only of running it on the street. No wheeling.

I run 35psi all the way around, even off road.

I run 35 psi all around also.

If it's completely stock run what the manual/door says. That will give you the best service from your tires.
One you replace your tires with non-OEM all bets are off and it's entirely dependent on what tire you have; the size, brand, model and load range.
Asking on the internet is only a solution if you find someone with the exact same setup as you. Very unlikely.

I run 40 front 45 rear. I have bf goodwrench tires.

35 all four

My tires say 35 but I pumped them to manual's spec. Anyone know why front would be lower than rear and why aftermarket tires should or shouldn't be pumped the same?

The rear is slightly heavier, unloaded, and can be much heavier when loaded or towing.

OK... so mine truck is completely stock. Started life with Goodyears....now has General Grabber HTS 235/70R16. What pressure would you run on my truck and why (given the owners manual says 26/36)?

I ask 'cause while I understand the effects of tire pressure on handling (26/36 will cause oversteer), safety, and mileage, I wondering what other considerations I should be aware of.

I would say start with the owner's manual recommendation, and then adjust as needed for wear or handling characteristics. If they have similar specs, you'll be fine.

My 96 had Michelins on it from the factory, and I've seen a lot of others that did too. I wonder if this is based on trim level or who had the best deal to the factory at the time.
