Proper Tire Pressure for 275/60R17
Hey y'all,
What is the proper operating pressure for Goodyear Eagle GTII 275/60R17's on a 4x2 F150. My truck did not come with 17"s, but it's now set up similar to STX/Sport models and the newer Lariats with 17"s. As a rule I try to run 32 (don't know where I ever picked that number up). I do very little hauling and I know these tires are not technically rated as truck tires. I just want to get the best performance and wear out of them. They definitely ride easier and respond quicker than the stock 255/70R16 Wranglers, but are maybe a little noisier. Thanks for the help.
------------------
1997 F150 SC Lariat 4x2 Styleside
Oxford White/Prairie Tan Metallic
4.6 auto, 3.55
17" ORP wheels w/ 275/60R17 Goodyear Eagle GTII's
Extang soft tonneau cover
Kenwood 7003 CD head unit w/ remote, Sony 2x25W and Clarion 2x100W amps, Ultimate 10" pickup boxes
Powerdyne 6 psi supercharger, Autometer boost gauge
To come:
Ford Motorsports headers
Ford Motorsports 9mm plug wires w/ plugs?
Autometer fuel pressure gauge
Superchip
4.10 rear w/ 23-tooth speedo gear (gotta read right!)
Wishful thinking:
SVT 18" Lightning rims (painted Prairie Tan to match two-tone) w/ 285/55R18 Yokohama AVS's
