I retired my Toyo II 6 plys for Cooper AT3 10 plies [E] and went to a narrower LT235x85 - 16.
These Cooper's have a max load rating [3,042 lbs] and max pressure at 80 psi....
My question is this: What pressure do any of you run in a similar tire size and load? Reasons?
Do you go for max pressure or adjust for the weight [scale weight wet is 3,020 lbs front and 3,780 lbs rear on my Tundra/Hawk]. Please no comments about GVW specters.
My Tundra is an '05 Access Cab SR5 and carrying a fully kitted out '16 Hawk w/Firestone airbags/Hellwig anti-sway bar rear and wheel well height fore and aft of 35" ...primary use is off road and only pavement to get there...
FYI here is the approx load rating by pressure for these Coopers:
75 psi = 2,905 lbs
70 psi = 2,765 lbs
65 psi = 2,623 lbs
60 psi = 2,485 lbs
I understand there is a balance between ride quality/handling/puncture resistance vs traction on various surfaces but what has been your real world experience?
Thanks for any information,
Phil
