Do you keep your tires at full capacity? 80psi

I would drop by Discount tire, they are usually awesome about stuff like this, and they want your future tire business, so most of the small stuff they do free of charge.

Thanks for the advice. It seems like nothing is free any more, but it's worth a try. The nearest Discount Tire is about an hour away from me, but it will be pretty easy for me to stop by the next time I'm in that area. It would be nice to get the TPMS re-programmed.

Give them a call first maybe to be sure. I usually buy Cadillacs or other luxury brands where all the maintenance is included, but my last Denali (it was a 15 I think) I would take there because the rotations were free. I couldn't believe they didn't charge for it, but it worked, I have bought 3 sets of tires through them. 

Still shocked that an $80K Denali doesn't come with Cadillac like service inclusion.

I dropped mine down to 50 psi on all 4 corners and no warning lights.....while its still a big truck and stiff overall the air pressure does help a lot with the ride, I was thinking of going with some bilsteins or eibachs but don't know if that will help the ride much.....probably throw 500lbs over the rear axles for DD, and yank them when I need full capacity.....I actually do like the fact these trucks don't body roll like 1500s.....

Reduced body roll and reduced frame flex are included in the reasons I went back to a 2500. 

 

When running unloaded (which is most of the time) I also run cold pressures in the 50 - 55 range, depending on my mood. 

 

(it has the optional 18's, instead of the standard 20's, door sticker is 60F/70R)

mine is same with 18s and tire pressure sticker.....I wanted the 18s ( more sidewall and not digging chevys 20'' rims) and really like the stock rims so that's a bonus.....coilover conversion at some point

 I really do not understand this. It's everyone's preference to run such low pressure but I am the opposite. I have a 2023 silverado HD and the ride is such that I would prefer MORE tire pressure for more road feeling. I'm currently at 72psi rears & 61psi steers.

Has anyone ever ridden in or driven a road tractor, loaded or unloaded? THAT'S what a rough ride feels like; these trucks are like cadillacs. I don't need a cadillac 3/4 ton truck, I need a 3/4 ton truck! Probably sounds insane but it's the case.
