What happens when you run a truck tire at the wrong pressure?
You may not notice the problem immediately. But incorrect inflation can affect load capacity, tread wear, casing performance, fuel consumption and overall tire cost.
The BFGoodrich truck tire pressure chart below helps you connect inflation pressure with actual tire load capacity, rather than treating tire pressure as a number that should be the same for every truck.

How to Read the BFGoodrich Truck Tire Pressure Chart
A truck tire pressure chart is more than a list of PSI numbers. It shows the relationship between inflation pressure and the load a tire can carry.
The BFGoodrich chart provides pressure in PSI and kPa and load capacity in pounds (LBS) and kilograms (KG). It also separates single and dual applications, which is important because the same tire can have different load ratings depending on how it is mounted.
To use the chart, start with the tire size, identify the single or dual configuration, and then compare the required load with the corresponding inflation pressure.
For example, an 11R22.5 tire has different load capacities at 80, 90, 100, and 105 PSI. As inflation pressure increases, available load capacity generally increases within the manufacturer’s specified limits.
The chart should therefore be read as a tire size → application → pressure → load capacity relationship, rather than simply choosing one PSI number for every truck.
BFGoodrich Truck Tire Pressure by Tire Size
BFGoodrich truck tires are available in different sizes for different axle positions and operating conditions. Because tire construction and dimensions vary, the load capacity at a given pressure is not necessarily the same between tire sizes.
The chart includes common commercial truck sizes such as 11R22.5, 12R22.5, 275/80R22.5, 315/80R22.5, 385/65R22.5, and 425/65R22.5, along with other sizes.
When comparing sizes, do not assume that the same PSI provides the same load capacity. For example, the load capacity at 100 PSI for an 11R22.5 should not automatically be applied to a 12R22.5 or 315/80R22.5.
Always locate the exact tire size and application in the table before selecting a pressure.
For fleet operations, tire size should also be considered together with actual axle load, axle position, vehicle configuration, and operating conditions.
Single vs. Dual: How Tire Pressure Affects Load Capacity
The difference between single and dual applications is one of the most important parts of a truck tire pressure chart.
A tire used as a single does not necessarily have the same load rating as the same tire used in a dual configuration. That is why BFGoodrich provides separate load figures.
For example, the 11R22.5 data shows a maximum load of approximately 6,175 lb (2,800 kg) for a single tire at 105 PSI, compared with 5,840 lb (2,650 kg) for a dual tire.
This distinction matters when calculating axle capacity. Using the single-tire rating for a dual application can result in an incorrect load calculation.
Fleet managers should also remember that the chart’s maximum pressure is not automatically the correct operating pressure. The appropriate pressure depends on the actual load carried by the axle and the manufacturer’s load/inflation specifications.
How to Choose the Right Tire Pressure for Your Truck
The correct truck tire pressure should be based on the load carried by the tire, rather than a single PSI number used across the entire fleet.
A practical approach is:
- Identify the tire size — such as 11R22.5, 12R22.5, or 315/80R22.5.
- Check the axle configuration — single or dual, and the tire’s axle position.
- Determine the actual axle load — ideally using measured axle weights.
- Check the BFGoodrich load/inflation table — find the pressure that provides sufficient load capacity.
- Check vehicle and wheel requirements — tire pressure must remain within applicable manufacturer limits.
- Check pressure when cold — cold inflation pressure provides a consistent reference for fleet inspections.
The highest pressure in the chart should not automatically become the fleet’s standard pressure. Instead, pressure should be matched to actual axle loads and operating requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
There is no single pressure that applies to every BFGoodrich truck tire. The correct pressure depends on tire size, axle load, single or dual configuration, and the applicable load/inflation table.
First identify the tire size and whether it is used as a single or dual. Then find the required inflation pressure and compare it with the corresponding load capacity in LBS or KG.
A tire used in a single configuration can have a different load rating from the same tire used in a dual configuration. Always use the load rating that matches the actual vehicle configuration.
The answer depends on the actual load carried by the tire and its application. The BFGoodrich chart shows different load capacities at different inflation pressures, so 11R22.5 tires should not all be set to the same PSI without considering axle load.
Yes. Load is one of the key factors used to determine the appropriate inflation pressure. Fleet operators should compare actual axle loads with the tire manufacturer’s load/inflation specifications rather than relying only on a fixed fleet-wide pressure.
