What tire pressure are Sasquatch people running?

[Cased]

One of my sensors goes off at 30 and 31 randomly

On 37 Cooper AT3’s I’m running 33 and 30

They warm up by a couple pounds on warm days

Still do not have a perfect tire patch but close

Base 4dr v6 SaS

Currently running 34psi cold on the Goodyears. On my 4dr Wrangler I run 28psi in the 315/70R17's and get great wear.

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.

Have you been rotating in the spare? I just hit 4,000km, thinking of doing it every 5,000km for a rotation

I've been doing 5 tire rotations from the start. First oil change/rotation done through dealership @ 5k, from there next changes & tire rotations occurred at 8k (gotta use Ford points). Last rotation done at 5k. so I've been consistent with doing oil change and rotation at same time. Life is pretty good on them, but there is a curvature to the tread for sure.

I run @ 40psi when on road. Good comfortable ride, with no issues. I run Cooper Discoverer STT Pro on 37's.

Forgot to put though I am not on SaS but on a full aftermarket setup.

Gotcha, this is my first time with a spare so I was curious to keep it all the same. I have been running 35 cold as advised by my off road shop, they thought 39-41 was ridiculously high.

Drop down to 20 regularly for the trails

Just picked up our Wildtrak yesterday. Got home (2 miles) and checked the air. All 5 were at 50psi. No wonder why the test drive felt harsh. Dropped everything to 35psi and will do a chalk test this weekend.

Thanks for pointing out that the Goodyear sasquatch tires should actually be at 35psi according to Goodyear. That 39psi made no sense. Been wanting to lower that psi since the first time I drove my Bronco a few weeks ago. Noticed the ride quality immediately and thought there was too much air in these tires.

I set my pressure at 35 psi as per the tire recommendations. My psi ranges from 33 psi early cool mornings to 37 psi in hot weather.

I personally air up to 32-33 cold which puts me at 35-36 once warmed up.

I just completed my first tire rotation at 6500 miles and the middle of the tires are worn down quite a bit running about 36-37 psi hot. I aired down to run about 34-35 hot to see if that corrects the issue. If you are running 36 psi or more hot, it's too much.

50 psi!!!! That's a dangerously high pressure for the Sasquatch tires considering that the door sticker of 39 psi is also needlessly high! 35 should be the max for the tires. Anything higher is sacrificing comfort, traction and proper wear for the sake of better mileage to try to make up for the lack of good aerodynamics....

I lowered mine to 35 PSI yesterday and it’s made a noticeable difference on rough roads. It’s a noticeably more comfortable ride, IMO.

I’m likely going to go down to 33 PSI (cold), but no further.

Ford sets them all high for transporting to the dealer. Good dealer will drop the pressure to the correct pressure for road use. My dealer was not a good dealer.
