Tire Pressure
Fellas:
I have 20X8.5 and 20X9.5 3-piece wheels and I am running 36 PSI in front and 38 in rear.
What PSI should I be running?
The tires have a MAX PSI of 52 on them.
I know a lot of guys with regular 16s etc run 32 psi or so.
I've never been really clear on what PSI I shoul dhave and what is too much and the downsides of going to high.
BTW, on dips, I tend to bottom out on front driver side. Might this b/c PSI is too low?
Thanks for feedback.

just keep in mind running too much also isn't a good thing, coz' the middle of the tire will be "over infated" and you will actually get more of a middle wear

Many thanks for the info.
You guys are very knowledgeable and I appreciate your input.
I was way low and will get up to 40-42 PSI today.
