Hello there,
The air pressure stated on the door pillar accounts for maximum capacity of the truck. This takes into account all fluids topped off, full tank of fuel, maximum amount of passengers and their weight, plus any remaining capacity for payload.
You can increase your air pressure for...
Tire pressure is based on the load of the vehicle and/or the contents it carries/tows. Typically you want to find out what the load capacity is of the factory tires, as your baseline. From there, depending on the size you are using, reference the industry tire inflation chart to find the proper...
Sorry for the late reply. This is something being considered on the upcoming next generation Wildpeak. We understand the AT3w's tend to be on the hefty side of weight and retaining MPG is a big factor.
Majority, if not all, OEM tires tend to be on the softer compound side, with main emphasis on comfort (noise, harshness absorbing) and handling. Wear/longevity are not considered as it increases the total tire cost. Vehicle manufacturers are concern on keeping cost down, in order to appeal to...
The OEM AT3wA and the Rubitreks share similar tread design than that of the aftermarket/off-the-shelf AT3w. AT Trail should not be considered for full size trucks as they are geared towards crossovers, SUVs, or compact trucks, even though they look similar in tread design.
The OEM AT3wA has to...
all correct. Nothing wrong with the AT3wA (OE Wildpeak). It was made as the aftermarket/off-the-shelf Wildpeak AT3w does not meet noise, ride, handling, comfort, among other criteria by Ram. The AT3wA meets their standards due to less aggressive design.
If I'm not mistaken, other tire...
On point & thank you. The AT3wA is a OE tire on select Ram trims/packages. Aside from the "A" at the end, these tires will also have white lettering. Another fact is the AT3wA has a slightly softer compound. A Wildpeak without the "A" at the end of "AT3w" and is entirely a black sidewall will be...
I'll chime in on tire categories
All season tires are really made for 3.5 seasons of the year. They do average in terms of spring/summer/fall in terms of traction & performance. They are really meant for low noise and comfort. They can handle some wintery conditions, though not much.
All...
looks like Ram equipped the 1500s with a 275/55R20 113 LR tire (different from a P275/55R20. As such, at 36 PSI supports 2535 lbs per tire. By moving into a LT275/60R20 (D range) tire, the light truck inflation chart would match that load capacity per tire at 52 PSI. The air pressure is adjusted...
What was the factory tire size and tire pressure? I'll double check this adjusted air pressure as techs will provided a air pressure to match the same load capacity of the factory tires.
The stock 275/55R20 measures 31.9" tall (we'll call it 32") on the OE falken AT3wA
A LT275/65r20 measures about 34" tall, give or take depending on brand.
A LT295/60R20 would measure 33.9" tall, give or take depending on brand. I believe America's tire may be hesitant in order this size due...
Hello,
Were the Pirelli/OEM the same 285/45R22 size? If so, that would be the optimal pressure for the Wildpeaks. The Pirelli's had a load rating of 114 (same as the wildpeaks) and with the only thing that change was tire design, air pressure will remain the same.
The only time tire pressure...
it is really your preference. If Ram recommends 32 PSI, that is your cold starting pressure to support the load and contents of the truck. As your tires heat up during driving, this pressure will increase due to heat expansion.
However, overinflating can cause irregular wear on tires, along...
Ram figures out air pressure based on load of the vehicle & contents, comfort, noise, handling, and MPG, to name a few. OEMs simply develop & produce tires to meet those criterias.
While it does seem low, I have seen Tacoma's starting at 29 PSI and you can see how much "squish" those tires...
Hello Ram owners,
This forum has been blowing up one of our web-based software and figure it was time to sign up and see how it is going.
I'm posting on behalf of Falken Tire's QA department. I am not here to sell or push our product; simply to see how Ram owners are using their trucks and/or...
