    I cannot get enough of your 4Runner. Beautiful as always and the way it sounds just very good..

      Thanks! That's why it hasn't really changed much over the years - I'm happy with it the way it is!

    70k on MT Baja Boss AT on my duramax pulling trailer crouse country 30k miles of there life. Got loaded pressure and unloaded pressure. For rear, front always stayed same and did rotation 5k & 7k.

    Using an online tire pressure calculator anyone can look up, and having a similar vehicle/tire combo as you it recomended 38psi. Works well so far, even wear after a year. Off road I air down to 18. Enjoyed the video, thanks.

      lol I know I was like "Hey wait a second, what's the PSI though! I have the exact same tires on the same 4Runner". Glad to know my 35ish is in the neighborhood.

    Wouldn’t you want to do this with tires at running temp, or does that not make enough of a difference to bother?

      I've heard arguments for both options, I always adjust pressure when cold so I do the test then too

    I recommend conducting this test at higher speeds, as tire deformation changes significantly with speed especially centre/edges.

    • @CanadianGearhead
      @CanadianGearhead  4 дні тому +2

      Yeah, faster than I did it but not so fast that you have to make steering adjustments

    For every p.s.i. Increase, the tire temp decreases. Heat equals wear. Higher pressure equals higher load capacity and decreases rolling resistance. Tires are 50% of the ride quality, shocks 50%. Stiff shocks and hard tires equals a rough ride. Running 80 p.s.i will keep tires cooler, lessening wear, assuming suspension geometry is correct and proper rotation. The issue with that is the vehicle is absorbing road shock and its not great for cab mounts, hinges and latches and most everything else. Modifying any suspension has negative effects. Pick your poison.

      No one should be running 80 psi Cold Inflation Pressure on a passenger vehicle. The recommended tire pressure is printed on a label affixed to the driver door jamb. Tire makers and vehicle manufacturers have done the work for you. 80 psi is the suggested Maximum Cold Inflation Pressure should you be transporting a load weighing such that it puts the vehicle at it's GVWR.

      @@applesbighatranch6906 4 door pickup trucks are passenger vehicles. 10 ply load range E tires are very common on them. Obviously you don't inflate a tire past its maximum. Although i have always run 40 p.s.i in 35 p.s.i tires.

    the p.s.i number in the door jamb in for the rated GVWR. Which is set based on the frame, suspension differential and tire weight rating. And to maintain ride quality, in passenger vehicles. Ford lowered the p.s.i number on their suv, a long time ago, and they had a rash of tire blowouts from exessive tire temperature, killing people.

    run is the wrong verb, you dont 'run' a tyre pressure. you inflate your tyres to your chosen pressure, and drive your car. you dont 'run' anything apart from a race or a bath.

      I run 36 psi Cold Inflation Pressure in my 34 X 10.50 X R17LT D Load Range to match the Load Capacity of the OEM P-Metric tire fitment. Seems my earlier comment was deleted, perhaps because I recommended an online tire pressure calculator in the name of SAFETY. Oh well. What can you do.
