Hey i just got some new bfg all terrains and the tire says to fill to 65psi..that seemed a little high to me so i was askin what do yall put in if the truck is going to be a daily driver
 
If you are looking on the sidewall, that 65 PSI is probably said to be the MAX PSI, correct? That is not necessarily what you should run it at but, what you could run it at if you were needing the full max load rating of the tire. As to what pressure you should run, what kind of vehicle are these tires going on? IIRC, 65 MAX PSI tires are probably load range D, if you ran them at 65 PSI on something light like a Jeep, it would ride like a rock!
 
Are they bigger than the stock tires? Or replacements? If they are stock size, what is the recommended PSI on the little placard on the door jamb of the sub? That'd be a good starting point!
 
What size was stock (245/75R16 IIRC?). What have a ya gone to? 265, 285, 315, somewhere in that kind of range? If it's mildly bigger size than stock, I might try filling them to stock spec (as a starting point), then run a chalk line across the tread, roll the truck forward some and see if the chalk comes off evenly across the tread surface. If the tire is underinflated, the edges will wear off first, if it's overinflated, the center will wear off first. This would probably be a good way to check, unless somebody with the same truck and tire size can chime in and give their specs!
