Moved up from stock tires to a 305/70R18 (35") on my 2010 F150 SuperCrew.  What pressure should I be running?

Exactly what it says on the door jam.

Door jam pressure is for factory size tires, for the best ride, not the best tire wear. Tires will list max pressure on the sidewalls. I usually run front tires 5lbs under max pressure, that way they wear the best, rears depends on the load, but if running unloaded I usually run a few pounds over door jam amount. Then they don't wear in the middle.

Your stock pressures are now totally irrelivent


I'd do a "chalk test" and run whatever pressure crowns the tire slightly on such a heavy rig

Yeah, knew that stock #'s are no longer relevant, and am thinking I need to run at least 40 psi, but not sure.

That's with the stock tires.  35" (12.5" wide) is a lot bigger tire...   Changes the game a bit.
