Default Correct PSI?

for
245/35/19 275/30/19

and
245/35/20 275/30/20

My tire shop said about 30psi for both sets, isnt that too low? How about 35psi?

Also what PSI do you guys have in your wheels

thanks

That is pretty low considering how little sidewall there is. I run 38 with mu 40/35 tires. I'd probably run the same or about 40 with yours. I think this is about where rominl and some other guys are running the with 20s. With more pressure, the ride will be a little stiffer though. Kind of a trade off. I would not run below 35 though.

33 is standard, but do you want to make it that low and risk bendig the rims coz' of all the low profiles? i don't even with the hre, so i put 40

Well I use to run about 43psi and it was bumpy, but now I have 35psi and it is so smooth compared to 43psi. I just didnt know if 35psi was too low.

i have

245/35/20
275/35/20

i run 44 PSI on front and rear. I'd rather have somewhat of a bumpy ride than bend the rims. Lowest I'll ever go is 40PSI though... hope this info helps

43 is definitely on the high side. i think 38 would be a good choice for you
