White letters in or out?

Awesome!! Do the LT tires ride harsher since it has a stiffer side wall? Asking because I had FX4 and don't wanna make it more bouncy! What PSI do you run them at?

Harsher ride??? Yes?? No?? I dunno. Maybe a little.
It had Bridgestone Dueler AT on it when I bought it. I chalked up any difference to the more aggressive tire…not the LT.
I run them around 37.
Although I just went out and read them and I just saw that the tire says max load at 80 … ?… I had to make sure I saw that correct. Wow. 80?!? Hmm…. That would make them a hell of a lot more harsh.

Yeah 80?? WOW!!! I run the stock Hankook's at 30 psi lol!! Due for new tires probably by spring so weighing options. LT tires are heavier too due to stiffer sidewalls.

80 psi would be max like when you're towing something large otherwise they'd ride like a freight train. lol For every day use try starting at the recommended psi on the door sticker and adjust from there. I'm running 265/70/17 but they're not LT's and have them at 32 psi and it's perfect. Doing a chalk test is also a good way to dial them in.

Whew. Ok. That’s good. I wasn’t sure about 80 psi…
I will look up the chalk test and do that this weekend.
thank you for that info.

i keep wanting to try that but i bet mine would come back needing different preassure in each tire

Chevelle out, Ranger in.

Love the old Chevelles!!!!

I always like white in. The red clay mud here tends to stain them so it's easier too keep clean if I don't see them lol.

Out!

Out!

How do you like those AT/3's? I was thinking of getting those once the leveling kit is installed.

So far so good. Haven't been off pavement as much as I wanted to with a bunch of family stuff going on, but they're fantastic in the wet at least, and not any louder that the stock Hankooks.

I prefer white letters out but it's a matter of opinion.
Scrub the whole sidewall with Black Magic (formerly Westley's) Bleach White and a brush, then scrub just the letters or whitewall with more and a wire BBQ grille brush. The wire whitewall brushes don't seem to be available any more.
Rinse, dry, spray and wipe with Armor All or if I have a show, Cristal tire shine.

I always thought white letters out were for american muscle cars only?

But do whatever makes you happy, I say.

Whites Out!!!! If you have larger tires and black wheels it helps break up the black blob you have in the wheel wells.
