Question:
So I've recently been faced with a load of trouble and I'm really upset about it. I bought new tires for my '05 Ford F-150, stock sized BFG All Terrains for the snow. The side of the tire says "50 PSI Cold max pressure." So I was running 50 psi. Well low and behold, I had some front end problems with the truck. It's still under warranty, so I brought it to the dealer. They couldn't do anything because the truck recommends 35 psi, i had 50. Ok, sounds stupid but whatever. So now I'm running 35. The tread on the tires wears out prematurely. The tire company won't warranty the tires because I was running 35 PSI! So, what PSI SHOULD I be running????

You should always run the psi recommended by the Car/Truck itself as all its specs (braking distance, mpg ...) are dependent on this. I have not heard of a tire company refusing to warranty tires for this reason. Choose a set of tires that is recommended for your vehicle to avoid this problem.International Awareness Promotion Department of the BMW Automobile Company?
take your pic tire mfg or trk mfg running them at 50 psi is not gonna automatically make you have front end trouble i work on big trks which we have been changing over the dual rear tires which run at 105 psi to one tire called a supeer single which runs at 125 psi and we havent had any trouble although if you go mudding you may want to drop the air pressure to get better traction. the only difference you will see running them at 50 psi is the rideOk, let me try and address your problems.
First, running your tires at the max psi will not cause front end problems.
Second, you need to call Ford customer service and address the dealerships refusal to honor the mfg warranty.
third, BFG is not telling you that they will not warranty the tires because you are running them at 35psi...no way. Listen there isn't a wear warranty on BFG A/T tires.
After a car wreck do I contact the other person's insurance company to get my vehicle repaired?
Simply run your tires at what Ford recommends.
