Mickey Thompsons ATZs look great

I recently purchased a set of Baja ATZs for my 2002 LX470. Tough, good looking tires.

I have the D rated 285/75-16 BFG AT's and I run 40 front/42 rear for the highway. So far, I have about 15k on them... they're perfect.

Note title of thread. We have enough "what's the best tire" threads.

285 Duratracs are at 60 psi. Tire guy said this is where they should be set. I may explore lowering them.

I would lower them to 42 front and 39 rear. 60 is way to high for Duratracs (or any tire that goes on a 100). I am shocked your tire guy would put that much air. I would think 60PSI is to high for a fully built and full of gear for a week with a camper in tow on the highway.

The guy is an idiot. Show him a manufacturers (tire or vehicle) guide book.

I'm gonna lower them tonight. I told him to set them at 42 psi and he said any lower than 60 would cause excessive tire wear.
