I've searched, but can't find anything. I have a 2004 Sierra 2500HD 4X4. The tires I am running are 265/75 R16. The sticker on my door was painted over, and I can't find anything in the owner's manual stating what pressure I should be running. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Door sticker would read 60 front and 80 rear. This is gearer for stock size tire, 245/75R 16 and loaded to max GVW.

The max on my sidewall is 65 psi. They are BFG AT. I'm looking for more of an unloaded weight right now, if anyone has any idea.

I believe most run 65 in the front and 55 in the rear when unloaded.

55-60 empty 80 fully loade

Just remember, the more air you run the easier they roll and the better your fuel econ. I like it ridin like a truck so I keep mine at 70 psi all the time, 80 if I'm haulin heavy.

What is the rating letter on the tire?

look on the tire and it tells you the psi in bubbled up writing,you have to look and read very closely

In the rear I had 70psi in mine but it felt like the tires were off balance at 45-50mph. I took the truck in and had the tires balanced and it still felt out of balance. I lowered the air to 40psi and now most of the off balance feeling is gone. Do you guys think it could be bad tires? I am running nexen tires. Looked them up online and they are some of the cheapest tires I have seen.

I run the same size in 10 ply and run 50 psi when running empty and when towing my gooseneck I run 80 in them. 50 psi will keep the truck from beating you to pieces on the freeway and 80 psi when towing will keep the truck from walking around from side to side.

Since they are D-rated tires, you'll run different pressures than OE. I think that your max load at 65 psi is 3000#, so the tires are rated just 42# less than OE 245s.

Your front end should weigh just over 4,000# and the rear around 2700#.

With those numbers and a CCC of 1,000# in the bed, you should be fine running 50psi all around.

I have the same tire and run 60 psi all the way around. I slao accelerate very slowly. If you are aggressive driver, you will need less pressure in that back.
