do low-profile tires need different amounts of air pressure than regular stock tires??
what psi should they have?
i have 305/40/22 size tires if that matters.
the psi doesnt change from a low pro to a huge crawler. Its still pounds per square inch and 35 to 45 is what mose guys run. I run about 55 in mine to help with mileage.do low-profile tires need different amounts of air pressure than regular stock tires??

Have the stealer put 35psi in YOUR 10 ply tires and it will definitely look like you're doing 4wheel burnouts after 10k miles (worn right out of the middle).Too little air tends to wear more on the shoulders than the center. This is especially true with a lower-profile tire that has stiffer sidewalls than stock tire.
they are radial tires. They're designed to wear on a lower psi. and chevy says right on the side of the truck that for 265/75/16 its recomends 35 psi.Have the stealer put 35psi in YOUR 10 ply tires and it will definitely look like you're doing 4wheel burnouts after 10k miles (worn right out of the middle).
The tire sidewall has a maximum pressure on it and lowering more than 10 psi below that (especially on low profile tires) and running less will definitely overheat the tire. Just ask any firestone equipped ford explorer driver.
Just relaying what I learned in a year at Discount Tire. Are you suggesting that a 10 ply should be run at no less than 70 psi? How much do you spend on tires a year?
Not really. That's what a forum is for. Different ideas and different points of view. I wouldn't even be on here if I wasn't learning from everyone else's experiences.:endofshowWell, I look like a fool:crazy: but in all honesty my experience has been different:shrug:
