Michelin PSI
Post by barrman on Apr 13, 2006, 8:54am

LIke a whole lot of you, I just got my Michelins mounted up and on the truck. What psi are you running?

I put mine on a week ago and drove it at 40. Excellent ride, but the outside and inside of the front tires showed scuffing. I aired up to 60 and things look better. I know the side of the tire says 80 max. I just want to find the sweet spot where the tire will wear evenly and not give me the horse draw carriage ride of the NDT's.

Lee had a laser temp gun and did a bunch of highway speed runs, take the temp, change the air psi and repeat. He reported that on his truck, 56 psi was the best as far as even temperature across the treads. I also have a laser temp gun and just haven't done all of this yet. I was looking for a short cut.

Thanks
