What tires?

BFG All-Terain, excellent tire.

 Great tire indeed,Too bad they pick up every rock they roll across and my
 Experience is a lot of cracked windows following me!

Not to thread jack but, do any of you guys over inflate your tires a bit or go to the recomendation?

Never over inflate your tires it's bad for the tire and can be very hazardous to your health.

I do, i run close to max on my trucks, always have. But never over inflated....
Heavier rated tires, ie: D or E rated tires can be run at higher air pressures than C rated tires, running them at near max pressure allows the tires to run cooler, which in turn can make them last longer during everyday use, also it can help with sidewall deflection during avoidance manuvers.

Going to max rating on the tire isn't over inflation, when hauling wood etc I do the same but putting 75lbs in a tire rated for 50 or some such wouldn't be smart.

running at or ner max inflation can help fuel mileage and tire life. i would not over inflate.
i run nitto trail grappler on my truck and on my wife old truck. ive been happy with their performance. ran toyo's before that, they performed well but did not last. bfg mt's before that and while i loved those tires(performance and life span) they were too squishy for how i use my truck.
my next set will be more trail grapplers or possibly duratracs if i change sizes.
disclaimer: i dont run street tires, or even really all terrains on my rigs, the terrain i recreate in demands more than they offer.

I was in the tire industry for 16yrs, both commercial and consumer and race.

Side panel of the truck says 35psi.  The tires say max 50psi which is where I have mine

I guess by over inflated I mean going beyond what your vehicles owners manual says

Refer to the tire specs...ignore the owner's manual. All that is mostly for the original tires unless you're dealing with a tire pressure monitoring system, which pretty much everything is since 2008 unless it's the some of the bigger trucks.

You are fine then. The tire's rating is the more important one there but you can also find yourself wearing the center of your tread more than the edges.

Bf goodrich a/t is an awesome tire Jim! I have them on my truck and had them on my old one as well. Also, the tires we just got Jordyn for her jeep are great tires as well. Check them out when you are at work. They are the new toyo a/t but they may be more than you wany to spend.

BFG All-Terain, excellent tire.

I agree have had two sets and love them. Long lasting relatively quiet and great reaction

The door sticker showing inflation recommendations for your truck was based on the original equipment tires when the vehicle was sold new.
It should give the tire size and the inflation recommendations.
ie: P235/75R15
Tire pressure ratings on the tire indicate the max load that the tire can safely carry with that amont of air.
ie: max load of 1985lbs @50psi - the max load capacity decreases with  lower inflation pressure, but does not increase with inflation over the max rating.
Also remember that your vehicles load rating does not increase just becasue you put on a higher rated tire...ie: if you install 16" load e tires rated at 3042lbs ea at 80psi onto your 1/2 ton truck it still is a 1/2 ton truck....

I've got a short box and the most I've ever carried in it was a yard of dirt.
