What tire pressure are Sasquatch people running?

32 but thinking about dropping it to 30. Anything above 34 seems nuts to me.

I agree. I’m at 31. 35+ is just too much.

I'm at 45psi with mine

33 or 34 for me at the moment. I agree with others that the recommended is too much.

My 2 door Basesquatch is one of the lightest packages. I run 37- 38 PSI and check the tires when they are cold. Temperatures where I live are warm 75-80 degrees is the temp when I check them "cold". So they heat up to over 40 PSI. Seems to give the most balanced ride without being too firm. 40 was a little on the firm side to me.

Because it is my daily, it helps MPG. I don't expect it to ride like a touring car plus I think the ride is better than anything I have ever had even with this pressure. All I have to do is air down for off road use.

Cool, good luck with that.

I agree with this picture. I've been running anywhere from 37-39 since I got the Bronco. Have just over 40k miles and did another rotation over the weekend. I said to the brother in law that the center seemed to be more worn than the edges, obviously not as drastic as the picture above, but you could see a slight inward curve to the tire. Not bad though, I still plan on getting 50k+ on the original tires. But also thinking next set of tires I'll probably run 35 lbs or less.

Nope not at all...

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.

Ford and dirty dealings with tire makers. Hmmmm, wasn’t there something about that in the news in the late ‘90s?

The factory set psi is to help FORD meet mpg requirements. Even if it’s only 1MPG
On a window sticker 17 mpg looks better than 16

36 all around, but may be dropping it to 35 front and 34 rear. I’ve noticed the rear tires heating up more/faster that the fronts.

Interesting thread. I have 315 KO2’s on my OBX since new and run 34-35. Good ride and the ware is pretty even but still biased to the center 3/4 of the tire. I’m expecting to take delivery of a WT next week. Not thrilled about the Goodyears but would think they’d need about the same air as the KO2. 39 seems way too high.
