Re: What tire pressure do you use??????

Quote:
What kind of tires require 80 psi????. They must be real heavy duty!
They are just your standard "Load Range E" 10 ply rating tires that are the standard replacement for my truck. Each tire is good for 3042 lbs.load IF they are inflated to 80 psi.But when the bed is enpty I like to have more of the tire in contact with the pavement for safety and tire longevity. I'm sure the 10% suggestion above is meant for normal passenger duty and not for a situation such as mine.
