I recently bought an 03 Tundra 4x4. It has the stock P265/70R16 tires. I have two questions.
- The door sticker says to set the psi to 26psi. This makes the tires squeal and look like they are flat. This doesn't look safe to me. My local tire guy said that was just to soften the ride and I could go up to 35psi. I have done this increase (I don't expect a car-like ride from my pickup) but I am worried this will harm my tires. 35 is listed as the max. I am also worried that this will somehow void my certified warranty and/or my extended warranty. This is important because I'm taking it in Tuesday for a popping sound in the 4WD.
- My second question is what are good tires? I was without a truck for a while so I'm not up on the new models. I currently have Nokians. They have some tread left but I just split the sidewall on one- don't ask me how. Even though it is a little early, I'm probably going to go ahead and replace all 4 to keep a matched set. The truck is primarily for going to work but I want to be able to go off road if I want. Nothing like some of these monster builds but something respectable. Also, I live in Wisconsin so being good in snow is important.
