Tire Pressure for 35" tires?

[yat74]

What should a 35" tire be inflated to for normal road driving? I have Coopers and on the tire it states that cold the max psi should be 50. I have them at 40psi now and go down to about 20 or 25 when offroad. Any suggestions.

[f5fstop]

Read the tire placard at the driver's door. Max air pressure and recommended are two different things.

[ChiHummer3]

I've always wondered about that - What if they aren't the original tires that were on the car. What if you go bigger and better - do you still fill to what it says inside the door??

[Matt19]

no guys, you fill what is says on the TIRE. Every tire has it written on it. :rant: Every tire has the PSI, the Size, and brand and whatever information is needed. Just bend down, take ur glasses off and read the tire itself. I cant be any clearer

Isn't that MAX psi shown on the side of the tire? (not recommended psi)

actually I do think your right. I may have been mistaken.

[f5fstop]

You ARE mistaken. The tire labels the MAX tire pressure the tire is safe to be used with. The Tire Placard shows the recommended pressures from testing with the tire and the vehicle. (This might be off with non-factory tires, but pretty close, AS LONG AS THE TIRES ARE THE SAME SIZE.
I just noticed the original question was for 35's (so I can't read:shhh: ).
So, to answer the original question....I can't, but would still recommend close to the recommended pressures, and keep and eye on the tires to see how they wear. Wearing on the outer treads pressure too low, wearing on the inner treads, pressure too high; even wear across the tire, pressure ok.

um buddy, a tire placard is only for the manufactured tires you get with your vehicle. If you read, the topic changed to tires you buy after market. These tires mostly wont tell you the recommended pressure for a specific vehicle.
Your still talking about looking at the sticker when you open your door...We already covered that, quit wasting time... Question is, where do you find the recommened pressure for an after market tire, becasue on the tire it might only say MAX!

Matt,

The question was asked and answered with the best answer there is, go with the vehicle manufacturers recommendation. The same tire on different vehicles can have different required pressures and no tire or OEM manufacturer is going to list every vehicle application.

The advice from f5 on non-stock applications is what any tire expert would tell you.

i did not post anything wrong. I simply said you look on the tire it tells you what pressure it needs. I just didnt say wethers its Max or Recommended. So please tell me my errors in my ways. please, please do.

"More than half of drivers wrongly believe the correct tire pressure is located on the outside of their tire wall, which only reflects the "maximum permissible." The correct amount of pressure is located in your vehicle manual and can also be found on one of the vehicle’s doors, inside the glove compartment, trunk, or fuel door."

First, it was pretty offensive how you talked to F5 - and second, to address your request -

Check out this link on tire safety, bottom of page one where it says:

ok SMARTGuY, what do you do with tires that you buy at walmart? Check the owners manual?

You guys can bitch all you want, i looked at my tires on my eclipse (you guys dont deserve me looking at my hummer) and it says min and max...umm when you put in oil the dipstick says min and max. when you put in tranny fluid it says, min and max...
A semi-intelligent person would fill everything between MIN AND MAX. so if you SMARTGUYS out there cant do simple stuff like that, then..i pity your hummers. PITY

YOU ARE NOT MY F'ING BUDDY; therefore, I am NOT YOUR BUDDY, and never will be, so find another response.

Your first statement WAS incorrect. You told someone to fill the tire according to the PSI labeled on the tire.
("no guys, you fill what is says on the TIRE. Every tire has it written on it. Every tire has the PSI, the Size, and brand and whatever information is needed. Just bend down, take ur glasses off and read the tire itself. I cant be any clearer.") Your second posting even admitted the error.

My second posting corrected my first posting due to my mistake of not seeing 35 versus 33. However, if you are replacing tires of the same size, you want to follow the placard (yes the thing by the driver's door).

So, stop being a smart a** and let's all try and get along.

[KeyzH3]

Not wanting to get involved in all this, I still wanted to add something to this thread. I just ordered 35 Baja Claws and should be getting them any day, so I was going to ask the same question about what pressure to run. I would like to note that my 3 originaly had 265s and the recommended pressure was 30psi. But I made the dealer put on 285s from another adventure model as part of the deal. I looked in the door on this truck and it said 35psi. I had other issues with the senders going off shortly after and wondered if there was different senders in the two sizes. ( I could never get an answer from my parts guy.) I did finaly get them resynched had no further issues. So my best guess here is to run the 35s at least 35psi. Someone somewhere else told me 40. I know from having other lifted trucks that rim width compared to tire size also has alot to do with it. We used to run the truck across concrete after wetting the tire to see what kind of track was made. We would inflate till you could see it crown and then drop pressure by five until it looked heavy on the edges then tried somwhere in the middle. ( Forgot what the reverse of crowning is called. ) This way we did not have to wait until the tires showed wear to change pressures. I would also tend to think that putting tires this wide on narrow rims would tend to make them crown a little faster at higher pressures. Just my thoughts. I guess I will find out soon.

[Hummer Guy]

I'd guess 35 psi, but someone here may have better advice. It will be easy to tell if its over or under inflated depending on the wear of the tire, which with that tire, should be evident pretty quickly. Gotta love the Mickey Thompsons....

I would guess 35 to 40 lbs would be fine :D

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..

[JWSchmidt3]

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".

:beerchug:

[JWSchmidt3]

WHAT PSI DO U RUN YOUR 35"ERS??????

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.

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!

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

[Crash ?]

POP!!!!!!!!!!!Was that your HEAD?????Another genius among us......PLEASE!!!If your tires say max PSI is 45,why would anybody run at 50 PSI????Do U know what MAX means????Lower your PSI 2 between 36 and 38 PSI before U KILL YOURSELF OR OTHERS.....U will also find that your trucks ride will improve...

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...

[Desert Dan]

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.

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.

[marin8703]

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.

[Sewie]

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

[Mr_Pat]

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?

[Sewie]

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.

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.

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.
