I have 285/75 BFG AT's on my truck, what is the best tire pressure to run to make them last the longest? :blahblah:

Right now I am running 55 in the front and 50 in the rear unloaded on stock rims.

I run 50 front and 45 rear. Drive down a sandy street, if it looks like the entire footprint isn't making contact with the road, let some air out. that's how I ended up with my settings.

i usually run my tires at the max pressure. i have found out that the tires last longer this way and have less of a chance of messing up. little ruffer ride but it is a truck and you can live with it.

I run 60psi front and back, but I use Nitrogen rather than air. Truck rides like it has 45 psi and I have been getting 1 to 2 miles extra per gallon .
