Is there a standard PSI number for tires in general or does each manufacturer use different pressures? Do all 275/30/19 tires use the same PSI?
Thanks
What "cold" PSI is everybody running with?

Don't use the numbers on the tire. That's just the maximum safe pressure.
Use the numbers in the door jam or the owner's manual. There is usually a range of pressures depending on speed and load.

Thanks. I switched to 166's with 35/30 series tires and i'm not familiar with the PSI for these.
