Costco has the best price on bfg tires. I run the ko2 on my work truck and they are great! Quite, smooth ride. Seem like they will last pretty long, pretty tough tire that is good off road except for mud.

If you run front and rear tires at the same pressures, regardless of how high or low of pressure, will the tpms still give an error code? Asking because I don't know the answer.

OK went to two stores today, they both said they cannot change the gauge pressure settings on 2015 Chev Silverado 2500HD. they both said VERY FEW cars can be changed. One store tried to sell me tires of some off brand, Falcon, I think, for $250 each!!!
I am going to look at BFG tires and the Michelin. Calling Discount in a few minutes.

Coach - I trust you as I have seen your referrals on this site.  I run my tires lower in PSI and the TPMS light is always on in my truck.  Literally everyone I talk to, tire shop wise, cannot override this TPMS.  Drives me nuts.  It's a 2014 Ram 2500.

I'd love to know how to override this, without driving to your shop. :chuckle:
If you aint hunting, you aint livin'

Most oe style scanners have the ability to set tire inflation paramiters for different load ranges I dropped mine from 70 psi to 45psi.

Although most, if not all, factory scanners can reset the tire rating and pressure setting we will not do it in any of our stores. To many liabilities and per our factory agreement we are forbidden to.

Now if a good friend borrows a scan tool and figures out how to change it with simple instructions that is something I can't control :chuckle: :tup:

Are they LT tires or p metric tires?
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I'm pretty sure they only offer p metric ply ratings for half ton trucks.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

P metrics are passenger rated  normally 2-4 ply. The bare minimum in capacity for oem tires. For on road driving they are usually fine but those a bunch of weight on them or go off in the shot rock gravel roads and they likely won't.  E RATED tires I belive are 10 ply and plenty sturdy for any 3/4 ton application
