I haven’t seen it in a dedicated thread so I’ll start

-BFgoodrich KO3 275/70R18 E load

-@36psi cold


Feels very stiff as expected, thinking of dropping down to 34psi for daily driving

BFG KO3 265/70R18/E 124/121S RWL
45psi cold pressure

 

[DJ’s Sled]

Toyo OC AT3 LT285/70R18 E, 127/124S, 10 ply
80psi max, 3PMSF, 57 lbs.

30psi cold, local area driving
34psi cold, highway travel
48-50psi cold, towing 5800 lb trailer

POSITIVE: Relatively light for an E tire. Versatile. In combination with a suspension upgrade my local driving is compliant, floaty, plush but never out of control. Still corners very well in comparison to narrower, smaller, lighter, soft sidewall OE OT tire.
NEGATIVE: Lower gas mileage (I haven’t bothered to measure). A bit noisy above 50 mph (music mitigates majority of that).

Wow that is very specific and precise tire pressure monitoring! I typically stick to the same on city & highway...

I just talked to King Shocks today and they recommend dropping down to 34psi as that would be still high but ideal for ride quality and gas mileage.... they are thinking more along the lines of 32psi
