Help with Tire Pressure
I have LT 245/75/16 "E" load Roughriders on my 97 4X4 SC just installed. I tried to check the tire pressure but it was beond my gauge. Does anyone know what they should be set at? The tires are made by Good Year for Canadian Tire Motomaster. Unless i'm totally blind the sidewall said 80 psi.

80psi is the max rating for a E load rated tire. You really only need 80psi when the truck is extremely loaded down. For a better ride you may want to adjust the tires to 40-50 psi when running empty/no load. Get a new tire gauge and experiment alittle bit, just don't underinflate. The heavier the load, the more tire preasure you want/need.
