    What's up guys and gals? I will be putting some new wheels and tires on my 18 Pro this coming week and was wondering what the best psi recommendation would be for a daily driver? I currently have the stock Pro wheels with 265/75/16 Cooper STT Pro's and will be getting 285/75/16 Cooper S/T Maxx's mounted on 16x8 Deegan Pro 2's with a 4.5" BS. Just don't like how the mud tires ride.

    I've read a few reviews and it seems like around 36 psi would do the trick but I just wanted some opinions on what y'all thought.

    Thanks for the help and I hope everyone has a very happy Easter weekend.

    Blacktacoma23 If your tires don't rub you can fit bigger tires

    I went from 34-35 psi to 40-41 psi. Way better for street and gained some mpg back.

    With 37 front and 35 rear, I have even chalk wear across all tires. I just have to adjust again when I rotate.

    On my 2nd set of 285/75r16 Cooper STT PROs.;
    I'm on 8' wide rims instead of 7" stock. Makes some difference.
    Best tire wear; 37/38 psi
    Best ride quality; 31/32 psi
    Compromise @ 35 psi
