: What's the best PSI for the stock tires?

Our Mada came from the dealer with the stock tires at 44 PSI. Although this seems to jive with the suggested PSI on the door, it seems a little high for our lifestyle. We aren't towing anything except 4 kids who weigh 200lbs when piled on top of each other. I had always run our Surburban around 38 PSI, with good tire wear, and I'm thinking about doing the same with the "Beast". What is your experience?

Someone correct me if i'm wrong but the Continentals on mine list I think 44 or 45 psi max on the tire. On a warm day driving your tires inflation will rise. I run mine at 35 and it's not uncommon for them to read 39 psi after some driving. I imagine you guys are feeling every little bump running the tires that high. Sorry for rambling. 35-38 sounds pretty good.

I agree. I inflate my tires to 36 psi cold.
