What is the tire pressure for 285/70/17?

[Norsk]

Hello,

I recently picked up my new '24 UG Tacoma TRD Off-Road and swapped factory tires for new Falken Wildpeak AT4W SL. Should I stick to 31 PSI based on Toyota Recommendation?

Anyone with 285 SL tires running different PSI? Please share.

Thank you!

Thanks, but I'm good at 30psi. There's no need for that pressure unless you're towing or have the bed fully loaded down. Commuting to and from work at 30 has been great for me.

You can plug in your information here to get the recommended pressure: https://tiresize.com/pressure-calculator/

That comes up with 26psi, but 26 feels a little low to me. Other people do the chalk test and have also determined the correct psi to be a little lower than 30. I feel good at 30 so that's what I run.

If you like 35, then run 35. As for me, I like 30.

Nokian NAT’s SL at 35psi is too high, airing down for comfort.

I’m running 28-30 on my 285/70R17 SL rated winter tires.

Just do the chalk test. Start at 30 and go from there

Be careful with this. All tires have a minimum pressure for the load they are designed to carry.

285 70 17 Wildpeak LT
32 all 4 corners.
I started with 35...little harsh but what do you expect for a LT.
If I wanted a smoother ride I would have gone P rated...but I like the ability to air down for sand and rocks if need be.

Recommend 26PSI. WOW.

That’s what you need for equivalent load capacity but it’s not what is necessarily best for performance or even wear

That’s an important distinction.
