What tire pressure are Sasquatch people running?

[meh]

Just picked mine up and it came with 42 and is SO rough. I'm going to drop it down to 33 tonight

I just got my Eruption Green Wildtrack a week ago. I like the truck a lot, but one thing I did notice was an extremely firm ride. Going over a speedbump, especially the back tires, was a jarring experience. I checked the tire pressure, and of course the dealer had left the tires set at 45PSI.... I checked the door sticker on the Bronco since the SAS tires are stock, but it said 39PSI! Coming from a Wrangler, with 35x12.5" tires, I typically ran around 28PSI.

I did not want to overdo it, so I dropped the pressure down to 39PSI as per the door sticker. This definitely made an improvement in the ride, but it is still pretty stiff for my tastes. Considering a Wrangler is a similar weight to a Bronco, and 28-30PSI on a Wrangler was fine for me for years, I really feel like 39PSI on the Bronco is still an extremely high tire pressure. I really wonder if the 39PSI is more appropriate for the 10" wide tires that come stock on the Outer Banks and Big Ben.

So my question for Sasquatch people is:
What PSI are you running in your tires?
How long can you drop the PSI before the warning lights come on on the dash?
Can you change the threshold that the warning lights pop up?

I run 39 PSI consistently...and Ive gotten consistent wear with 5000 mile rotation at 20K miles. my dealer mechanics insist what I've been doing is working great...just a thought.

Not sure exactly what PSI sets the light off but it will probably be around 25psi

On my Badlands/SAS/4DR/hardtop + Lux, with heavier bumpers, winch, Trailrax. Original OEM Goodyears at 42K, still plenty of good tread on them:
PSI warning light goes on at 30.

I inflate to 39 cold, run 40, sometimes 41 warm. Kind of high, but I'm used to heavy work trucks (semis) and don't mind the stiffness if my mileage improves a little.

This thread has some older posts, but you can adjust the PSI the check tire light comes on in Forscan. From my own experience the tire light comes on 5 psi under this setting, but I have only tested a limited range. My non-SAS was set to 35/35 from the factory.

I just swapped over to Territories for the winter and set them to 32 psi. My TPMS reads about 2 psi low consistently though so it shows as 30 on the instrument cluster. They heat up to around 33 on the cluster while driving. I have not chalk tested them yet but the ride feels about right. Only have a few hundred miles on them to date

I have Cooper AT3 XLT and a stock Big Bend. I went with sasquatch wheels and tires.

I'm going to revive this one, because this is why I never liked aftermarket stuff or I should say non original to the car. I have also never had an ancient vehicle like this with a solid rear axle, body on frame.

So, I think the road itself did the chalk test for me. The first 2 pictures are at 35psi cold, and I noticed the edges were still brand new. I lowered the PSI to 33 and the 2nd two pictures are after 10 miles at 33PSI. It seemed there is an improvement. I believe these tires are just a big overkill for the road so I think I can safely go to 32 even 31 for an optimal patch. Or is it just an illusion because the end of the tread seems slanted and may be the manufacturer accounted for all of this and the last half inch of the tread is actually curved anyway and it's not supposed to touch the ground.

My question I guess is... Would you go with 32-31 if it was you?

On road 32-35 PSI
Off road 17 PSI

I do

Tread was meant to go on the road.

36 all corners.

I'm at 37 as well. I might bring it up to 39 for the mpg soon though.

Edit 1/1/2024: I keep them at 35 cold, and they warm up to 37. They feel fine to me, but I think it's mostly just preference.

As of 5/12/2026, I run 37 in the front and 32 in the rear. Feels great for daily driving.
