Anyone running Goodyear DuraTrac 265/65/17? what PSI are u running ??

I have just put on a set of Goodyear DuraTrac 265/65/17 I have never ran this tire before. What pressures are ya'll running yours at for the best performance? I'm just looking for a little help.

 

When I had it, I ran 40-42


EDIT: 265/65 or 265/70? ......... I had 265/70 and ran it at those PSIs listed

 

I have 40 cold in my 255/85/16 and the chalk test confirmed this is ideal.


Everyone's truck will be slightly different, driver weight, gesr, add on etc. What load rating are your tires?

Take some sidewalk chalk and Mark the treads of your tires, drive around, if it all wears off evenly your tire is inflated properly. If the center is worn but the sides remain covered you have too much, and if the sides are worn and the center remains you have too little.

 

On my 2nd gen, I ran mine at 32. I can always get down low and tell what the contact patch should look like. At 35 the entire tire wasn't touching the pavement.

 

I will try the chalk and see how it does.
Thanks

 

this is good for traction. not always good for mileage or sidewall stiffness (think highway feedback), lower pressure makes the truck feel to wallow.

i usually run 34-35 on my 265/70/17.

 

I'm running 38 front and 35 rear on my load c 265/70/17. I carry no weight 90% of the time

 

Cool, floating Tacoma just by over inflating tires. I bet David Blaine can’t do that.

 

My 265/65/R17 Duratracs go on next Friday. I'll keep you posted on my experiences.

 

40PSI??!! One question: Why?

Keep it at low to mid 30's for regular driving.

 

gas mileage

 

I guess it does help MPG. But, above 30 i feel a hard ride. I have orig Toros. Even at 30 they seem to bounce when I hit a bump.
