Default Re: Do bigger tires = Stiffer ride?

check the presure

Some tire places put in the max psi when mounting the tires?

I run about 35 psi around town and sometimes get the low tire warning when cold. When fully loaded on a trip I run 45 psi on the highway for mileage. I haven't taken the tires below 18spi yet off road. No need so far and I can still run short distances on the hwy to get to teh next dirt road

Off road a larger tire can run at a lower pressure than a smaller tire and still support the vehicle.

The lower presure off road will result in a softer ride, a larger foot print and better flex over rocks and bumps
