Switched from factory 16 to a BFGoodrich All Terrain KO2 LT265/70R17 6 ply. What should my PSI be set at for good MPG?
Daily commute is 25 miles highway stop and go driving.

I would not stray very far from the recommended pressure on the sticker inside of your drivers door edge. BFG's are hard riding tires because of the exceptional stiffness of their sidewalls.Switched from factory 16 to a BFGoodrich All Terrain KO2 LT265/70R17 6 ply.

Thanks for the info! I had a feeling they were running low. I’ll bump them up some.You'll want to run them at least 40-42 psi and not really past 45-47 psi. They wore quickly while I had them in the 30s and low 40s. BFG told me back in 2017 to run them at 50. I finally listened and the tire wear all but stopped. After 35K miles the center of the tread was down a 1/32 over the outside, a little too much air. Then BFG said in 2019 saying to run them at 42 psi.
42 psi is what I originally calculated for the tire to exceed the rear axle capacity. Technically it's 41 but 42 gives the same margin GM uses. I now run mine at 47 but you might try a 2-4 pounds less since your rig is lighter than mine.
Cute kids, now were y'all playin in the mud or was a typical day in a yankee winter?
