Tire pressure question...

This is similar to a previous thread, but here goes...just put on Michelin 32 x 11.5 M/S tires, which is as we all know a size larger than stock. They were filled at 32 psi at Sears where I bought them, which is what they recommended. I'll be doing a bit of highway miles in the near future - what do ya'll recommend for pressure - I was thinking of 35 psi. (??).

how wide are your wheels? if they are the stock 7" i would go down on press to about 31-33, if they are 8" or wider then you should be fine with 34-35, i have 12.50's on 8" wheels and run them around 27psi, because the tires are so much wider than the wheels it tends to flex the tire up in the middle if i run 35psi

32 all around is fine... 32 or 35 is industry standard

Idono, 35 seems really high for a tire with more volume than stock. Especialy if you are going to go of road. I wouldn't go over 30 or 31 personally.
