2021 Tradesman 2500 tire pressure for crew cab

[Hvacmike]

Notice my truck rides little rough it's brand new check the gauges there's 91 lb of pressure in each tire is that normal

Quite a few have reported similar stats when picking up new. I think mine were 98 and 93, but still way too high and rode like crap.

They definitely need to be lowered, but what you use your truck for should determine exactly how low you go.

Picked up my 2021 2500 about a week ago, had over 85 psi in all tires. Supposed to be 50 and 65 as per manual

Mine were at 85 psi as well. The dealer told me that it's done to all new trucks to prevent the tires from getting flat spots while they are sitting on the lots waiting to be sold.

Max towing pressure is 90 psi. They are supposed to come like that and its up to you to lower them for unloaded driving. I believe the min is 65 psi but don't quote me. I keep mine in the low 70's.

My PW had 80 psi when I picked it up, which was more than the recommended max pressure printed on the tire. I am running 45 psi now and the low tire pressure indicator stays on all the time. I am not towing with it, but 45 seems plenty looking at the tire's profile. When I get the 35s installed (E rated), I am going to start at 50 and go down 5lbs at a time until the profile looks right. I hope that is about 40 psi or less. At some point I want to get the pill from AEV to shut the darn thing up.

On my Wrangler, it has E rated 10 ply tires, and I run 25 psi on the street.

Hi all Just bought 2021 Ram 2500 Tradesman. My tires are also at 88-92 psi. Dealership filled with nitrogen in them. Said would make tires last longer in Las Vegas. Are they pulling my leg? I am only going to be pulling a 27' travel trailer.

There's nothing wrong with it, but there is no real benefit to it either besides for the company/stealership that is putting the nitrogen in your tires for a cost.

Mine was exact same way. I thought it was high. Checked the sticker in the door jam and I says 60 front and 65 rear. Lowered to those pressures and could not believe the difference in the way the truck rides and drives. I liked it a lot before and absolutely love it now.
