I am going from old GG AT2S 235 70 16 to my new GG AT2S 245 75 16
I ran 33 psi in the 235s so what do I run in the 245s?

ThankS!

The larger the tire, the more volume of air it holds, and therefore the less pressure it takes to support the vehicle. So, in theory you could get away with less PSI.

However, I try to always run my tires in the mid to upper 30s for the improvement in mileage and treadwear.

what does it say on the sidewall? :SOMBRERO:

I run my 245 70's at 35 in town, but usually bump them up to their max of 44 for road trips, trying to get the best economy.
