Question BFG Tire pressure

I just put a set of used bfg ko's on my truck, and I was wandering what tire pressue to run them at...

The last guy had them turned up to 60!
The tire says that they should be at 65psi (cold).

What do you run in yours?

Those sound like a LR D, but would be good for you to verify. 65 is the max, not what you need to run on an F150. If a LR D with a max of 65, run them at 45. I would not go any lower than about 42.

I've got the E rated BFGs which say a max of 80 psi and I usually run somewhere around 50 psi.

    Yes, they are an LR D. An 8 Ply tire.

    I run 50 psi in mine 40 seems a little to squishy for me and 60 it rides too rough 50 is a good compromise
