Not for a light wieght Sierra, most guys run low to mid 20's on road. It wont get rid of the problem but will definitely reduce it and is the easiest thing to do first and is a very common mistake new owners make

Have a look at the maximum load rating of the tyre. I bet it's more than the whole car weighs. That's why you don't need 41psi in the tyre. |

not sure if sierras has a tyre placard but in the jimmy, the recommended pressure is 23-26 |

20 psi for a Sierra. And that's with a tyre with a very low load rating |
|

| Post subject: | Re: help again |
max load rating is 1000kg.is that load rating for one tyre or 4 tyres put together. |

22 psi on road should be about right 5-10psi off road |
