    Hey guys,
    What is the proper air pressure to be running my 315 Bighorns at on the highway?
    Hate to say, but im totally ignorant to air pressures in big tires like these.

    Thanks

    It should say what load range they are but I'm gonna guess and say they're d which is max of 50 psi.

    I'd run around 40-45 which is what I do in my d range 35" bfg's

    Gotcha,

    I will set it at 45 and keep check on em.

    Yeah for wheelin, i figured it was waaay on down there.
    Just like drag racin on slicks...lower psi for traction.

    Thanks everyone. :waytogo:

    I'd run 40 on the street. It should say the max psi on the sidewall somewhere
