Recommended tires for Toyota 4Runner

The max pressure IS the recommended pressure.

I believe that the engineers that design the tries and specify the pressures are a whole lot smarter than I am, otherwise I would be collecting their paychecks. I also believe that the designers that make cars don't think a lot of things through...otherwise their wouldn't be so many vehicle safety recalls.

Nope, Max pressure is just that a MAXIMUM. DONT GO OVER THIS PRESSURE!

Recommended pressure is for getting the best from your truck, usually highway running you up it by 4PSi or so and for snow etc down a few. The recommended pressure is set for the tyres that the truck was sold with, and from there on in if you stay with the same size/rating/width/tread tyres.

Your tyre specialist would be the person to ask, see if they specialise in

4x4s or small sedans, if its not 4x4s get advise from a 4x4 shop on what you use your truck for.

Some would even say use Nitrogen instead of air for certain uses. (And for some uses they would be totally correct)

Hope that helps.

Actually I *DO* use dry N2 in my tires.....only because I can.

I made the mistake of thinking that too---once.

No, the maximum pressure is NOT the recommended pressure, especially not for truck tires.
