Tire pressures for 265-295 tire mod
Hey guys,
For those that have gone the 265/40/21 fronts and 295/35/21 rears route, what tire pressure are you using? Just got this done yesterday but I am not sure where I should take the pressure to.

LOL, I will delete this, but looks like 38 all around is fair....I usually like to run 2 over anyway.

I run much higher pressures on my OEM 2020 wheels/tires. 39F/46R.
I think the manual calls for this for speeds over 100 MPH - there is a chart but def staggered pressures. |

Going to a slightly larger width shouldn't require any difference in psi, all else being equal.
I think you're right. I changed my tire settings for the first time yesterday from <100 mph to >100 mph just to see what was different, and my low tire pressure warning came on. I confirmed I was at 34 psi on the fronts and 37 psi on the rears, and I thought it might be due to the higher speeds needing higher psi. |

I’m imagining that the tires could heat up too much at high speeds for long periods of time. That and increased handling. I don’t always drive over 100, but it’s nice to know I’m in spec when I do. Down side is a rougher ride 99% of the time lol. |

If you go to the Tire Pressure menu, there is a submenu for tire settings. There's a preset for summer and winter tires. If you have non-stock sizes, it looks like you can change that there too.
