Is this the tire you are asking about?
And since I don't have crystal balls... Can you tell me what vehicle you are putting these on?

These are on a 2008 200 series Toyota Land Cruiser - 285/65/18
Thank you for your service

You're welcome. Thank you for the kind words.
The Recommended Cold* Tire Inflation Pressures (RCTIP) for those LT285/65R18 tires on your 2008 LC200 are 41psi Front / 43psi Rear.
*According to Toyota:
Tire Pressure vs. Tire Temperature
Tire temperature is dependent on “cold” tire pressure, driving distance and speed, ambient temperature and road surface temperature. As the temperature of the tire changes, air in the tire expands and contracts, changing the tire’s air pressure. The cold tire pressure for all Toyota models will vary and will need to be adjusted accordingly.
“Cold” tire pressure, as shown on the tire pressure label on our vehicles, is generally considered to be the pressure in a tire that has not been driven in the past 4 hours and has been parked outdoors.
And don't forget to re-initialize your TPMS.

@gaijin, May you please advice what pressure to set on European '08 LC200 4.5 d4d with AHC like in LX570 with 275/55/20 Continental Terrain Contact HT for max comfort on streets/highway?
Full stock, but running on 10J Borbet wheels with ET35

The tires are 113T, Continental Terrain Contact H/T 113T (four years old).
Attaching the door sticker info.
Got it, thanks!
The Reecommended Cold* Tire Inflation Pressures for those ISO-Metric 275/55R20 113T SL tires on your LC200 are 34psi Front / 34psi Rear and >160km/h 34psi Front / 37psi Rear.

P.S. I'll never forget the new year's celebration I spent on the Rocks in Sydney...
@gaijin I'm curious what is the lowest pressure I can run on 275/70/18 General Grabber ATX in SL Load on my 100 series Land Cruiser.
Thanks!
Thanks!
You can run 0 psi if you have beadlocks. Safely down to 16PSI if you are careful about turns and keep the speed down if you have to travel the highway between trails.
Hey sorry I meant to ask the lowest I could run for daily driving, not off road!
Need recommendations for 305/70R17 Toyo RT PRO. FYI I run a LRA 40 gal tank.
If you mean the LT305/70R17 125/122Q Load Range E tires on your LC200...
The Recommended Cold* Tire Inflation Pressure (RCTIP) for those LT305/70R17 tires on your LC200 is 35psi F/R.

Hi @gaijin , thank you for your time helping so many of us with tire pressure questions. I have a 2013 LX570 with 18” LC rims. Just put on Nokian nAT Outpost LT 265/70R18s. The installer used 35PSI but I’m thinking that may be low. I don’t pull trailers or have heavy loads (beyond the vehicle itself). Your thoughts would be really appreciated. Thanks so much.
Hey @gaijin. Looking for a recommendation. 2011 LX570 285/55/20 Toyo Open Country A/TIII. 114T. Thank you!
Just had Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 275/65/R18 116T XL installed. The local Discount Tire didn't have it in stock size for my 2013 LC. Tire pressure recommendation please! Thanks!

Thank you, @gaijin for all the help with these folks you've helped so far. I'm still trying to figure out how to calculate this myself, gave up and went looking for calculators, and now here to this thread.
Vehicle: '97 Land Cruiser
Original tire pressure plate states: GVWR: 6470 lbs, Front GAWR: 3305, Rear GAWR: 3970; 16x8JJ rims, P275/70R16 tires, 32 psi cold.
Actual weights from truck scales: all gear (off-road bumpers, winch, roof rack, recovery gear, full gas, and NO humans) - 6100 lbs - 2960 Front Axle, 3140 Rear Axle; add in humans - me + 3 kids (500 lbs, call it 340 in front and 160 in back or 3300 even to each axle.
Actual wheels seeking pressure for: Method 704 Bead Grip rims - 17x8.5; Toyo Open Country R/T Pro 35x11.50r17 tires, load rating: E, max load: 3970, max psi: 80
Looking at this calculator page Tire Pressure Calculator - https://tiresize.com/pressure-calculator/ ... I have no idea how to interpret the results I get.
Essentially says the same pressure as the tire pressure plate in the vehicle: OEM Size (275/70R16 SL) Load Capacity: 2354 lbs (-10% 2140 lbs) @ 32 psi versus New Size (35X11.50R17LT E) Load Capacity: 2185 lbs. @ 32 psi.
According to this calculator page: Tire Pressure Calculator: Load-Based PSI Recommendations by Vehicle Weight & Terrain | Metalcloak - https://metalcloak.com/tire-pressure-calculator ... says my front should be cold 45 and rear 45 assuming 50/50 axle distribution. That is a lot higher than the cold 37 the place I bought the tires/rims from set it to, and that I've been maintaining 37 for these first ~500 road miles, and 13-18 psi (warm) for ~100 off-road miles.
So, what RCTIP should I be running and thank you in advance, Gaijin if you answer...or thanks to anyone with a reasoned opinion really!

I get 34psi F/R using the tiresize.com calculator:

Interesting. I didn’t choose the P#… guess that makes a difference.
Thank you!
