What PSI should my dually tires be?
So 70 PSI is the minimum required for around town, and 80 PSI would be about right for freeway cruising. But don’t use the dually chart for the front tires.
What PSI should your truck tires be at?
Most typical tires require about 32 to 35 pounds per square inch (PSI) of air, says Rod Tate, owner of highly rated Colony One Auto Center in Stafford, Texas. Large trucks require much larger tires with PSIs of 50 to 60. Heavy-duty vehicles can go even higher.
Is 80 PSI too high for truck tires?
The 80 psi is required if the tire is operating at rated load. You most likely have a load range E tire. I have run load range E tires for years on my 4 Runners at 32 psi front and 30 psi rear.
What should a Chevy Silverado tire pressure be?
35 PSI
You will find the specific tire PSI for your Silverado in the door of the truck. Typically, your truck tires should be at 35 PSI in the front and the back. It’s recommended you check your tire pressure once a month.
Should I run my truck tires at max PSI?
In most of these cases, 40 psi should be more than enough, and since most modern tire designs will allow up to 44 psi (in some cases more) this is not a problem. If you have a heavily loaded vehicle, up to 44 or even higher is ok if the tire allows it, but this is a little high for most vehicles.
Is 44 PSI too much?
The tire should be inflated to near the limit of the tire. That is, if the limit on the tire is 44 PSI then you should get it up to 42 or 43 PSI. The recommended tire pressure on the driver’s door (usually around 30 PSI) should be ignored.
How do you fill a dually tire with air?
Ways to Add Air to Dually Tires. Adding air to the outside tire is easy – you just remove the stem cap, attach the air hose and chuck to the valve stem, fill the tire while checking the pressure, then replace the stem cap. Inflating the inside tire is when it gets fun.
How do you put air in a rear dually tire?
To inflate dually tires, access the inner valve stem (with or without an extender), attach the chuck to the valve stem and use an air compressor with a high PSI rating to fill the tires. RV tires are expensive, and nothing puts a damper on a trip like a blowout.
Why do mechanics over inflate my tires?
So why do dealerships and shops over-inflate your tires then? Dealerships don’t intentionally over-inflate your tires, in fact they likely inflate them exactly where they should be. However due to the differences in heat, the air in the tires will expand once the tires move from the cool shop to the warm road.
Should truck tires run at max PSI?
Steer tires run at or close to their maximum load all the time, even when the truck is empty. Normal loads demand more than 100 psi.
