Did you pull out a measuring tape and go to the top of the tire or did you draw a chalk like or somethign similar and roll across it and divide by pi?

65 psi? Holy shit :anitoof: I run 35 in mine.... ever heard of overinflation? :imo
BTW, those BFG's must run big or something
255/25.5 = 10
10x .85 = 8.5
8.5 x 2 = 17
17 + 16 = 33 :bowtie:

holy shit no wonder they measured so tall, 65 PSI is way overinflated.

I run my 285s at 60PSI do you think thats too much? Whats a good PSI to run?

No dude, they are not over inflated at all. They are rated for 75psi for duallys. My truck isnt that heavy so i did the chalk test and 65psi put the tread patch flat on the ground. These arent 35psi 1/2 ton truck tires. :read:

So having a load E range makes them the shit? Had a 245/75 on our suburban, load e, guess what, shop said keep them at 40. Your truck must ride like shit :anitoof:

Shops know all don't they? :rocking: I have D rated tires. It rode like shit shit before the tires and it still does. why? its an obs 3/4 ton with turned t-bars.

That and per manufacturers specifications You can choose to disagree, but the only way your 33's measure 34 is because you have them overinflated :imo

when your tires are that narrow your always going to get a flat contact patch, its like a mud terrain bike tire :read:

Specs on the 255/85 according to tirerack, I'd guess they're from BFG, since it lists all tires.
According to that chart, you're filling them with the max pressure reccomended :anitoof:

 

[Whifflebat]

We run 65 psi in the back tires of our 3/4 ton suburban....when its pulling a U-haul full of stuff from Texas to Indiana... 50 for daily driving. At philmont in the 235/85/16 Maxxis Bravo 753 mud tires we ran 45-50 psi, wore nice and smooth as long as people actually used their 4wd. This was on mostly OBS 3/4 ton and 1 ton trucks, either crew cab long bed or extended cab long bed, hauling heavy crap offroad all the time...

I'd like to see the wear pattern on kyles tires...

65 psi is insane. drop that pressure asap :nono:
