Chalked my new BFGs

[GordoJay]

Just for fun. Brand new set of OEM C range. Cold, they ran flat at 32F/28R. Isn't that what they run at RA? I'm going to run here for a while and see how they do. The ride sure is plush.

No, no, no, it was a non-destructive test. What went flat was the tread onto the road. What wore off was the chalk. Which was not only cheap, but leftover from a project, so basically free.

What were results? Was that pressure the best?

38/38 is for the economy... And it works. when I moved, I got 17.4mpg calculated, not on the truck gauge, with about 5-6 hundred pounds of cargo, me and the dog, and that included the stretch on I10 where the speed limit might be posted at 75, but you’d best be doing 10-15 over in the right lane and move over quickly if you are in the left. I had a cop or 2 pass a line of cars in the right lane doing about 85. They were doing about 95 a few minutes apart. I made good time on that leg.

Placard definitely isn't the best when it comes to ride and comfort.. I'll give up 1mpg to have a nice on road ride..

I usually run 32 all around on toyo m/t and they seem to wear pretty evenly.. I only buy rears and put the new ones on the front and occasionally rotate right to left.. haven't needed to buy all 4 in awhile

32 front, 28 rear. Cold. As they heat up they’ll go a little high in the middle.

A better test imo is a laser temperature gun. Go for a highway drive and compare shoulder temps to center. That’s how I dialed in the right pressure for an AT tire on my lifted Scoob.

I’ve honestly never heard of or thought of this. I can see the concept but I gotta agree with @GordoJay here. Although I’m more familiar with it for track applications... good idea(s).

Common in road racing to check after each session as mentioned above. I guess the results could/would apply to comfort as well. Good Idea
