What tire pressure are Sasquatch people running?

[Chelada]

My wildtrak is coming soon (so I can't confirm) BUT I want to mention this. One my wife's 2018 Lariat, my 2019 and 2021 Raptor, the TPMS read out on the dash is always 2 psi more than actual. SO if your dash shows 39psi. My hand held race gauge shows 37psi and I have used other hand held gauges with the same result. I am not sure why this is the case on the F150 BUT I bet it is the same on the Bronco.

I'm glad you mentioned this. My compressor always shows the same 2-3 psi lower than what TPMS reads. I find a happy medium on my Mustang which I keep over inflated anyway. When I get my Bronco I'll go for 35-36 psi cold on my compressor.

I saw that too. I am a huge fan of KO2s. I hope they jsut had a bad batch or something.

Hopefully BFG is on it with getting their QC act together, but I'd imagine it's a rough time in the tire world to do such a thing.

Actually what I really hope is that Falken makes an AT3W that's not E-load and 73+ lbs, but I'm not holding my breath on that one. Such a great tire, but I'm not adding almost 20 lbs a corner for the exact same size to get it.

so you are running 35 front, 30 rear? Does that trigger the dashboard lights?

Not sure exactly what PSI sets the light off but it will probably be around 25psi

So, the TPMS ruling dictates that the light is triggered when a 25% loss of placard pressure occurs.
That would mean the light comes on ~29PSI (39*.75=29.25) from the factory.

i have method 703s and 35 ridge grapplers. 45 was way too rough. i dropped it down to 35 for all 4. this further drops down to about 31 on cold days.

IMO, 39 was fairly rough on Black Diamond 4dr Sasquatch. Dropped them down a few psi.
Vary from 34-37 right now with crazy weather (30's to 70's from day to day). Rides smooth, happy. All 4 same psi

I've got 3,000 miles now and went by Discount Tire to get a pressure check. Been running 40 psi (warm) and they pointed out the tires are showing signs of "feathering". The dealership will keep it for a few days, so looking to not take it in if I don't have to. Thoughts on it just being the tire pressure or more likely a suspension issue?

32-34 On mine. Was way to roughy at 39-40. Plus the tires last longer for highway use I’ve found over the years.

I'm still breaking the new ride in and took a look at the pressures today...

Ford shipped at 48(!) and I was bouncing all over the place. I dropped it to 38, and it's like night and day—a much more pleasant ride.

After reading this thread, I decided to go out and play with tire pressures. Here's what I came up with. Enjoy!

Great video and thank you!

Did going lower from 39 to 36F 34R impact your gas mileage at all?

I'm sure it did, but I didn't notice.

Since that video, I now am running 36psi all around cold. After warming up, they are about 37-39psi.

Has anyone completed the chalk test on the Sasquatch tires? What was the result?

 

[AKBronc49]

I'm running 34 psi all around on stock SAS Goodyears.

According to Goodyear and Tire racks websites the max inflation pressures are 35psi on the sasquatch tires. Ford went and did a dirty deal with Goodyear to change their own pressure on their tire to make it look more fuel efficient. Sketchy at best.

Why would you ever put more than 35psi in those tires??? 35 is the max psi at max load. Listen to the Tire Manufacturer not Ford. Max Load is at 2550. My 4-Door, V6 with 37s weighs in at 1450 at the front corners.

I run 32/30 and the tires run great with a full contact patch and plenty of PSI for the lighter weight of the Bronco.

While I agree that most people don't need more than 35psi in those tires, the manufacturer most certainly says you can inflate over 35psi. Read the sidewall.

I use the dash gauge and usually run them in the 90 percent range. Can't quite seem to get the dash to say 100% but all my tires say 90+ %. It ride pretty rough though, I wonder if I'd be OK if I drop them down to where the dash says they are all in the 80% range?
