    When I picked up my truck the dealer had the tires set at 38 all around. After 600 miles, and leaving them at 38, I feel like the truck wants to wander a little on the road. Not pulling, just not locked in straight. Could be that I'm making an unfair comparison to some other vehicles we have around here.
    What tp have you Guys found is best for day to day around town and some highway driving?
    Thanks!

    Mine came with pressure 48 psi lowered to 39 much better ride less bumps,tire pressure high for Transport I believe.steering a bit different that my old f150.drive mine in sport most of the time makes steering tighter.have not noticed any wander though.

    45s on the paved, high 30s off road. Off-road meaning 1-2 feet of sand/water/mud/....rocks.

    Tried it last week and no issue.
    Have fun.

    I run 38 like on the door. I've always been told you should run what the manufacturer says because it's vehicle specific. Now if i was racing I adjusted to what my seat of the pants told me.
