31x10.5 tire air pressure
What should I run them at?

Re: 31x10.5 tire air pressure
What does it say on the tires? I'd guess somewhere between 35-40psi.

What is says on the tires is the max pressure you can run them at. I am looking to see what Blazer owners usually do for this tire.

My tires say max pressure is 80psi (235/85r16) but I run them at 40. 80ps i makes a rough ride, 35 seems a bit soft. I confirmed with 2 tire stores and both said 40 is good.

Air pressure in the tires makes a big difference in the ride for me. I run 'em around 32 unless I'm going for better mileage (ha!) then I run closer to 40 (max on my BFG's if I recall correctly) Ditching the stiff shocks for something softer would probably help my ride too.

What size BFG's are you running? Mine are BFG's too, but they are "E" load rating (the only rating for the size of tires.)

Too much pressure and you'll clean the centers right off,. too little wears the outside and will handle like poo. Read your side walls and start with the manufacturers recommended #s. |

Re: 31x10.5 tire air pressure
Over the last 24 years I've found that my K-5 handels and rides best with 45 in the front and 35 in the back. I have lowered it to 40 front and 30 rear, but found myself not liking how it cornered. I figured since most of the weight was up front the tires needed more up there. I currently run 235/75r16 coopper AWT's Load range E. The ride is fine at that pressure because of the sidewall strength. Having the "E" range I can then pack the rear tires to 50-60 (or more) for pulling a trailer, eliminating any sway.
