What tire pressure are Sasquatch people running?

[Ftchmup]

so you are running 35 front, 30 rear? Does that trigger the dashboard lights?

Yep, and my dealer can't change it, he told me they get "dinged" if they service a vehicle and let it out the door with low tire pressures, I have to change tire pressures on my F250 every oil change. I am sure it is the same with the Bronco, only 500 miles on it.

I would imagine Forscan can change those parameters, I am too chicken to try it.

Going very much lower will cause wear and lower mpg on hwy. I'd stick with being fairly close to 39, but i wouldn't think a few psi would hurt anything and it should soften the ride a bit. But that's your call.

It's more of a liability thing. They can't support you running lower than what's listed on door.

Thanks, so I am OCD about dashboard lights. I will probably try dropping to 36 or so and seeing if that keeps the lights from triggering while also giving a bit more suppleness to the ride . I also agree on the Forscan, I just would rather not screw with it and any potential issues on such a new vehicle.

The ride is way better and we will see about the mileage, but I didn't buy it for the great mileage....

No Squatch's in the family but..
My BL with 33's I run at 33psi.
My BL with 37's I run at 30psi
My Jeep with 35's are at 32psi,
My F150 with 275/65/r20 (call 'em 34.5's) that is my daily driver and sees about 350 highway miles per week is at 36psi. I also rotate every 5k and psi's are when warm and not at start-up.

Also, I don't remember what the factory setting was but I changed my TPMS dash warning to 25psi via FORscan so I don't get errors.

The 39psi on the door jamb is so Ford can eek out the best possible gas milage rating. And as stated previously, I didn't buy a vehicle shaped like a stack of bricks for the gas mileage

tire low pressure light comes on around 27 pounds.

I’ve got 40 psi in my Squatch tires and the ride is great. Hit those speed bumps like they aren’t there and don’t feel badly jarred at all.

According to Goodyear and Tire racks websites the max inflation pressures are 35psi on the sasquatch tires. Ford went and did a dirty deal with Goodyear to change their own pressure on their tire to make it look more fuel efficient. Sketchy at best.

Thanks. Good info. I figured as much on the 39 rating. I honestly doubt 39 to 33 makes much, if any, difference in MPGs.

Wow. I must say I am bit surprised. I figured 32-35 was more appropriate for the tire, but I would not expect Ford to do what they did with the rating.

I'm not surprised. They had Goodyear remove wrangler from the tire and change the pressure numbers on a tire that already exists.

Thank you, I came here to say this.

I’m at 34-35 all the way around cold. Warms up to a happy median of 37 between Ford and GY while driving.

My wildtrak is coming soon (so I can't confirm) BUT I want to mention this. One my wife's 2018 Lariat, my 2019 and 2021 Raptor, the TPMS read out on the dash is always 2 psi more than actual. SO if your dash shows 39psi. My hand held race gauge shows 37psi and I have used other hand held gauges with the same result. I am not sure why this is the case on the F150 BUT I bet it is the same on the Bronco.

Thanks for starting this thread. anyone have experience with BFG ko2s in 35"? Would you expect the ride to be a bit better with those?
