I just installed some Goodyear E rated tires. What tire pressure would you guys run for everyday driving. I rarely carry a load. Thanks!

 

If they have a max pressure of 65, run them at 45. If the max pressure is 80, run them at 50.

 

No load tire pressure will be less than other wise. I agree with kingfish51, but you should check tires for wear after running them at those pressures then adjust to lower pressure if the wear is uneven. The tires should have more pressure in the front than the rear, example max rating of 80 lbs/square inch would follow this recommendation 50 pounds for the front and 45 pounds for the rear. This is do to engine weight.

 

That helps. Thanks!

 

I know this thread is old but I just have to rant about how people give out wrong information... The number on the side wall of the tire has nothing to do with what pressure your truck calls for... it's the same pressure for any tire you put on the truck... The number on the side is Max pressure the tire can hold... Read below as seen on Tirerack.com

Maximum Inflation Pressure

A tire's maximum inflation pressure is the highest "cold" inflation pressure that the tire is designed to contain. However the tire's maximum inflation pressure should only be used when called for on the vehicle's tire placard or in the vehicle's owners manual. It is also important to remember that the vehicle's recommended tire inflation pressure is always to be measured and set when the tire is "cold." Cold conditions are defined as early in the morning before the day's ambient temperature, sun's radiant heat or the heat generated while driving have caused the tire pressure to temporarily increase.

For the reasons indicated above, It is also normal to experience "hot" tire pressures that are up to 5 to 6 psi above the tire's recommended "cold" pressure during the day if the vehicle is parked in the sun or has been extensively driven. Therefore, if the vehicle's recommended "cold" inflation pressures correspond with the tire's maximum inflation pressure, it will often appear that too much tire pressure is present. However, this extra "hot" tire pressure is temporary and should NOT be bled off to return the tire pressure to within the maximum inflation pressure value branded on the tire. If the "cold" tire pressure was correctly set initially, the temporary "hot" tire pressure will have returned to the tire's maximum inflation pressure when next measured in "cold" conditions.

A tire's "maximum inflation pressure" may be different that the assigned tire pressure used to rate the tire's "maximum load." For example, while a P-metric sized standard load tire's maximum load is rated at 35 psi, many P-metric sized standard load performance and touring tires are designed to contain up to 44 psi (and are branded on their sidewalls accordingly). This additional range of inflation pressure (in this case, between 36 and 44 psi) has been provided to accommodate any unique handling, high speed and/or rolling resistance requirements determined by the tire and vehicle manufacturers. These unique tire pressures will be identified on the vehicle placard in the vehicle's owner's manual.

The tire's maximum inflation pressure is indicated in relatively small-sized print branded near the tire's bead (adjacent to the wheel) indicating the appropriate value. Because tires are global products, their maximum inflation pressure is branded on the tire in kilopascals (kPa) and pounds per square inch (psi). These values can also be found in the industry's tire load & inflation charts.

 

Wow dude...I cannot believe you just dug up this thread from '09 only to regirtutate the same crap you just posted in that other thread; the same info mind you that absolute was covered. If not, it's been covered on here before and most guys get what you're very irritatingly trying to convey. Your reply in both of these threads is completely out of line and out of context with the subject of the thread, especially this one.
