Tire Pressure Recommendation Please

[steelerfan n GA]

Hey guys/gals-

First time posting here:

I have a 2006 Tahoe Z71 2WD with stock Goodyear Wrangler AT/S
P265/70R17 tires. Door sticker recommends 30 psi in front and rear.

Does anyone have a recomendation for different settings to maximize treadwear and gas mileage?

Nice to be here and I hope to contribute to other discussions in the future!atriot:

Should be posted on the tire. I'd go with that.

the one on the tire would be maxing it out i would put in maybe 34 on those tires

I would just go by what ever it says on the tire side wall.

i have the same stock tires goodyears. I bumped my pressure up to 34 or 35 I might get a little better mileage out of it but I'm not sure.

The PSI on the sidewall is the maximum pressure, not the recommended pressure.

A fully inflated tire will roll easy, thus saving gas. By the way how do you like you'reSaturn Aura? I was going to recommend it for my wife as we need something safe and comfortable with good gas mileage.

Same tire and size here. I have get mine at 35 psi since day one and now have 15,000 miles on them and they show very little if any wear and the ride is fine.

I think 34-35 is a happy medium between the two extremes. I will go with that and see how it goes. Thanks for the feed back.

Lap Top Gamer - I like my Aura just fine. It is safe and comfy. According to the DIC, I am getting about 26.1 mpg, down from 27.0 now that I have to run the AC more. And I have the XR with the 3.6L. The 4 cylinder and the Hybrid should get even better of course.
