35psi is an abusive ride on an E-rated tire, 32psi is mucho better.
E load on a 4Runner is kinda harsh period. My Nittos are D and at anything over 35psi they start to get harsh.

The E-rated tires were snuck on by the guys at Discount Tire, I didn't notice that they were E-rated until a buddie pointed it out much later.

I figured the new harshness in the ride was due to the lift I put on at the same time. After airing down to 32psi, the ride is now pretty good.

I've learned lesson; not only do you need to specify the brand and size, you also need to include the load rating.

My new rims are rated for 2,150, its a good thing my tires will handle 3,195. When my rims crumble at least my tires will still be good. =)

Yep,when you look up TGs on the Discount site it automatically brings up the E load rated version and you actually have to look at the subset of Nittos to find the D load rated which there was also a considerable price diff too.

I was running my BFG M/T completly flat until a few weeks ago when Obama told me to air them up. I now run them at ~32psi, and I am getting much better gas mileage now!

Thanks Mr. Obama!

i run 4 on the trail and like 15 on the street, but i run 39.5x15 TSL bias so they are pretty stiff and it only sees the street once in a blue moon.

My tires call for a max of 50psi, so I usually run them at 45-47. I don't check them too often, but they seem to hold pretty well. Usually only have to add air every 4-5 months (that's how often I check the tires, WOW! That sounded bad...)

Unless your door jam stickers don't match your tires!
