31x10.5 tire pressure

Just out of pure curiosity, what tire pressure is everyone running in their 31x10.5.

(around town driving)[addsig]

Used to run the max, I believe 55lbs. on the road and around town. Offroad...I'd increase it to about 75lbs. so I'd bounce over trees

Nah-I'd air them down a bit for the adventure off the paved surfaces.[addsig]

I run 30 and air down to 20 offroad. Seems to work fine.

It's going to be different depending on the brand of tire you run. Different brands have different sidewall strength, which will give a varying contact patch on the road at a certain air pressure. You will need to run less air with a stiffer sidewall, and more air with a softer sidewall, to get even tire wear. It also depends a LOT on rim width. Narrower rims need less air to get an even wear pattern, wider rims need more air to keep from wearing the outsides of the tires.



I run 40 lbs. in my Swamper TSL Radials, merely to make them run on the center of the tread onroad so as not to wear the outside lugs. It also makes the tires slip easier in turns, since I run a rear Lincoln Locker

Try running a chalk line across the tire tread and run a short distance to see if the tread is wearing evenly. Adjust pressure as needed.



What brand and model tire you running?

i am running 50-55psi but when i go off the road i air them down to about 40[addsig]

please tell me your both kidding, cuz im scared now...i know you probably are joking but jesus christ...
 
I'd start somewhere between 30 and 35psi on the road...and adjust from there. Offroad, It all really depends on a lot of things--mostly if you have a way to air back up or not incase you break a bead from being aired down too low.

I'll also say that onroad pressure also has a lot to do with the type of vehicle (heavier vehicles would need more air pressure than a smaller one) and the type of tire.
