Does anyone happen to have a extended cab with factory 18s? If you do could you please tell me what the recommended tire pressure is for the 18s?
I just bought a 2011 extended cab standard bed NHT. The dealer threw in a set (for free) of new take off 18s and tires. My truck had the 17s on it so the tire pressure sticker only has the pressure for the 17s.

I have 265/65/18 tires on my 2008 Silverado. Came w/Bridgestones from the factory. Got just over 50,000 on the OEM tires before changing to Michleins. 35 is the recommended tire pressure. However, I run mine at 37 to 38 during the summer (checked when cool). Winter time I run mine at 39 to 40 psi. If you run 35 in the winter, and live in a cold climate, you will see the pressure drop substantially on cold mornings. I seem to get better mileage and better tire wear if I run just a little over the recommended.
The TPMS system is awesome!! I'm OCD about watching my tire pressure on the DIC.

I work for a GM dealer. All the trucks that come in with factory 18s run 35psi. My 07 came with 17s from the factory rated for 35psi. When I swap over to some GM 18's I just keep it the same. No problems here or uneven wear.
