Well my "Check Tire Pressure" light came on this morning. My rear driver's was low. Upon checking the rest of them, I found they were all at 25psi. I put them to 40 (44 on the sidewall)but I don't like the harsher ride over small bumps. What pressure are you guys running? I've always run about 3-5 less than what the sidewall says. (30-32 on a 35 tire, ~40 on a 44 tire).

I think I have 40psi in the fronts and 35psi in the rears.
I like a firm ride. I want to be able to tell the difference between a penny and a dime when I run over them.

I think 97's were the only year they had them.
I think they ended up having too many problems with them to keep them.

Mine are about 35 psi too. I rarely have that light come on; something has to really be out of whack.

I'm happy if they are between 32-35. Now the truck I max out what's on the sidewall. Ya it's stiffer but it allows me to max out the weight load without worrying about airing up and it helps a little with the mpg.
