: Tire Pressure for 20's????

Ive found quite a bit of info for other sizes, but no info for 20's! Tire shop currently has 58psi in the front & 55psi in the rear. Im trying to smooth the ride out a little, can i go a little lower? I had this all figured out with my 2500HD with the 6.0 (load range "D"), but it seems to be a whole nother story with the diesel.

Current tire - 305/55/20 Nitto Terra Grappler, load range "E"

Thanks....

I run Toyo 35-12.5-20 M/Ts at 40 psi all around. It seems to ride pretty good. I think it is odd that my truck rides better than stock with a 6" lift and 20s.

Snapper692, You like those tires? I just got a set too, and they seem to handle really well, I just had to trim the hell out of my bumper/wheelwell. I believe they put 40PSI all around

I too have Toyo Open Country M/T 35x12.5x20 and run 40-45psi and have a great ride!

I have the Open Country A/T's in 325/60/18....so nearly the same. None the less I run about 48 lbs front and 40 lbs rear and they ride so much better than the factory tires/rims did. As for the max inflation, Toyo.com should have some specs. I usually run below the specified inflation and find they ride and wear better.
Hopefully this link will work...

If not, the spec sheet says 65 lbs inflation and 3195 max load.

Thanks for all the info.....Ill try a few different lower pressures and post my results. I think Ill try 40lbs, 45lbs & 50lbs and see how each feels.....

Smokin Dmax, I love the Nittos! This is 3rd set Ive owned, dont think Ill ever go back to BFGs again! Just Nittos & Toyos for me!! This is my first set of 20s though, and that has definately taken some getting used to! They're great tires both on & off road!
