Hello all, new to the group and figured this is the best place to get my answer...
Have a 2020 Built to Serve 5.7 Hemi that had stock 275/55/20 tires. Just upgraded to Predator New Mutant X/RT 33x11.5xR20LT. I have used the tire pressure calculator which shows I should now run 50 PSI. Seems high to me. I checked with the manufacturer and could not find anything. Currently I am running 37 PSI in them. Just looking for some input so I don't have uneven wear. Thanks

Welcome! Try the chalk test. It will get you to the correct PSI.

Also, make sure to have your TPMS set properly for the new tire PSI.

Toy around with the PSI that feels most comfortable for your driving style as well. I run 39PSI in my LT285/65r20’s currently. I do prefer a firmer ride tho

I run 40 psi year round with 285/65/20 if you want a smoother ride you go slightly lower. If you’re towing you’d go higher.. I wouldn’t go below 30 unless off roading

I used the tire pressure calculator and it was way off. My tires were over inflated, wearing in the center and had lousy traction. I think the tire pressure calculator is assuming the truck is at full payload. I keep the front at 40ish and rear at 30ish for daily driving

Every truck/owner is going to be different. Based in options and driving style. I currently run 32 rear and 37 front on my 35x12.5r20 Radar Renegade AT-Pro. On the stock Falken WildPeaks I was running 45 front and 40 rear because it rode better and had better tread wear than the factory specs. I have not done the chalk test, but I do look at the dirt on tread when I pull into my garage to see where the line is in the tread
