Re: Tire Pressure for 35" tires?
 

Really..?? The tires have 45 Max PSI recommended stamped on the side of them I believe.. And I've heard of folks running 50 in them..

Re: Tire Pressure for 35" tires?
 

thats kinda like having a SPEED LIMIT of 65 but going 80

Re: Tire Pressure for 35" tires?
 

First off, I don't actually know the answer to the question being asked . . . but . . . I don't believe the tire pressure changes with the size of the tire. "PSI" is per square inch, regardless of how many inches is being filled with air. PSI measures the pressure, regardless how large the area of compression is.

I would follow the Min/Max recommendations, seems that everything in between is preference, not necessarily "correct".

Re: Tire Pressure for 35" tires?
 

Whatever they were filled with at the dealer. Seriously, the PSI on a tire like this doesn't make that big of a difference when filled within their designed operating pressure, for every day use. But that's off the subject of the original poster's question.

Now, if we're talking about my Vette, 32 front, 30 rear. That's a different animal.

Re: Tire Pressure for 35" tires?
 

It is a different animal, but tire pressure is tire pressure.

I'm sure you can tell when a tire might be a little low when tooling around town? I can. 35" tires on an H3 should be run between 36-38PSI.

The higher number is advisable if you have added weight like a winch or are loaded with gear.

THAT IS ALL!

Re: Tire Pressure for 35" tires?
 

Got that right! This will be one of two firsts for my tire guy. First H3 and first 35s. Speaking of Dumass dealers, I just noticed that my dealer butcherd up my fuse/breaker box with a screwdriver, breaking off all the tabs. But they did it back in February, going to be hard to prove it now.:mad: Unless it happened at the factory

Re: Tire Pressure for 35" tires?
 

You sure are one angry and sarcastic little person aren't you..???

Reasons for 50PSI.. Better fuel mileage.. Yes, it will go up some when there's higher pressures in the tire.. And yes, I understand MAX.. Which is why I stated I am running 45psi in mine.. If I was overly interested in a cushy ride, I woulda got a caddy.. It's a 4x4 truck though.. Riding Rough is what they as supposed to do.. Even with the OEM Goodyears it was rough IMHO..

KeyZ,

Where did you buy yours and where do you get it serviced ?

I purchased both of mine at VERA but get them serviced at Williamson(lots closer) Service writter is Mike Sutherland. He bends over backwards to help...

Re: Tire Pressure for 35" tires?
 

The max PSI on tires is the pressure you should be running when the tire is at it's max weight limit.

There is no need to run 40-50 psi (in the H3's) when empty around town unless you want to beat your self up with a rough ride.

If my truck is fully loaded and I have a long highwy trip I may put 45psi in the tires. This is for load capacity, mileage, to reduce heat build up, better handling and safety.

Re: Tire Pressure for 35" tires?
 

Palm Beach Hummer, and it never been to any other shop for service since I bought it, only a local GM dealer that reset the tire senders before I had figured it out.

Re: Tire Pressure for 35" tires?
 

hey sorry to bring this thread back but got a question for those unning 35 toyo open country mt. I got my tires installed about a week ago and i've noticed that only the center of the tire makes contact with the ground. Its as if its over inflated. But it cant be over inflated because i ran them at 32-33 psi.

i know as they wear it will even out, but then the wear wont be even. Does anyone remember if this is how thier's were when they were new?

any advice?

thanks.

Re: Tire Pressure for 35" tires?
 

Mine did that........but they were overinflated. ;)

Re: Tire Pressure for 35" tires?
 

Quick question on 35"..... I just bought a set of 5 rims and with no presure sensors or stems. Now I dont "need" the presure sensors right? Also I can just use normal stems right?

Re: Tire Pressure for 35" tires?
 

No you don't need the TPM sensors. But the computer will still be looking for them so you'll keep getting the SERV TPM message in the DIC.

Re: Tire Pressure for 35" tires?
 

what a suprise....just like your HEAD:fdance:

Re: Tire Pressure for 35" tires?
 

Four pages for a simple question!

I put 50 psi......

Re: Tire Pressure for 35" tires?
 

Ok one last question about 35? Do I need to crank up the TB in order to have them on the H3?

I plan on doing that but I am getting my 33" OEM's changed out on warranty repair and they just ordered the tires today and the guy says it will take 5-10 business days to come in and we are headed to MOAB on the 16th and I don?t want to mess with the TB and get the alignment till I get the OEM tires changed by dealer.

Re: Tire Pressure for 35" tires?
 

they fit under there without touching the tb. I have mine at 3 turns, it raises the front about an half and inch to and inch. Im not sure, but without any turns you might get a littel more rubbing than usuall, maybe not.
