PSI Recomendations

[Marty Nagel]

On my 26 Raptor the tire pressure according to the sicker in the door is 39 LBS. Curious what everyone is running when unloaded and not towing. When going down dirt road to our off road compound feels like 39LBS is way to high as plenty of sliding on the road at speed. Only a short distance so I don't air down and of course I could slow down!

36 front/34 rear, but anywhere from 34-36 cold is good for mixed use up to a 4/10 trail.

Edit: Raptor Assault trucks run 32 front/28 rear if I recall.

I think a few members have done the "chalk test" on the OE KO3s (for street use) and like pablo said... 36/34 is the sweet spot. You can even change the numbers in FORScan to match if you want.

For simplicity I set mine to 36/36 and put a sticker on the door. And adjusted the computer.

As far as off-road, 36 still feels like rolling-on-rocks. If you want comfort and traction, you need to air down.

What kind of fuel milage hit are y'all taking for running at 36?

Hard to tell, as I lowered my pressure pretty early in ownership so the engine wasn't even broken in. Plus late March there was still winter gas which always causes a hit. I think it was very minimal though

39 PSI is too high for unpaved dirt roads and causes that sliding feeling because the tires have less grip. Stick to the factory 39 PSI on the door sticker for the best fuel economy and handling, though you can drop to around 36 PSI if you want a slightly softer daily ride.
