Trail grappler mt on the way. Pressure?

295/70/18 four of them for $1008. What tire pressure are you guys running in them? Also ordered some wheel to wheel black powder coated nfabs. Hope I made the right call as I have tire shopped for a month straight.

I've always had great luck with 40 psi for daily driving.

In the case of this tire's LR/size combination, 40 should be fine for anything the truck is rated at. Normally I would say run a LR E with a max of 80 at 50psi, but these are rated at 4080lbs at 80 psi. The F150 is has a GAWR of about 4k.

I am running mine at 50 right now, but I think I am going to run them down somewhere around 40-45 for everyday driving.

As you should for that size. That one handles 3680lbs at 80 psi. Quite a bit different than the 295/70R18.

The tire shop recommended 40 - 50 psi. I choose 45 and it seems to be good for the street driving that I do mostly.

40 would definitely be a bit low, especially for a loaded truck. The axles are rated to 4k.
