No one I mean no one has a clue what pressure I should be running in my BFG TA/KO's the dealer inflated these bad boys up to 45PSI when I took it in last week for an oil change. It states on the sidewall the 65PSI is max, but what is good? My tire size is the stock 265/70R16. Please let me know. I called BFG and the recommended going with the manufactures door sticker which is 30PSI, is that enough?

Assuming you're talking about road use, it sounds like the tire manufacturer has a clue. It isn't rocket science. Try 30psi and see how it looks and feels. FWIW, my stock grabbers were at 45 when I got my X from the dealer. The road ride was much more civilized when I brought them to 30.

Yes, 28-35 is a very big range for that tire.

Something a little more accurate, based on the weight of the vehicle, and the rated load limit of the tire would have been much better.

Oh Ye ?

And What is the right number ?
running 26 or 28 ( what ever it is on the door, i dont remember ) makes tires look like they are underinflated

running 38 and up will feel very rough

so my GUES is a little over 28
a little under 35
