Just got the oil changed and checked the tire psi and they were 25 across the board, seems a lil low. Tire size is the 265s that come stock in the GMCs with 20" rims. The 25 is what the dealership put them at.

Standard tire pressure for almost every passenger vehicle is 33psi.

I think that's just the Max PSI on the tires.

What is the Max PSI printed on the tires?

Estimate your max temperature and then back it down 1 PSI for every 10 degrees F ambient temperature and see what number you arrive at.

Should be a sticker on the driver side door or door frame.

I say put a few lbs in every few days until you find a good balance for the tires. I would say at least 35, but like others have said, check the tire.

I think GM puts their tire pressure labels on the inside of the fuel filler door.

Just fill one up until it pops, then fill the others just a bit less.

My truck, same specs as yours, calls for 30 all the way around and 35 in the spare. However, I keep mine at 33
