Best Pressure
- Thread starter gnar13

I run 65 in front and 55 in back when running empty. Seem to get real good tread wear at those pressures.
When empty i run 45 in the rear , and 55-60 up front , loaded i go 60-65 front and 75 rear , for milage in would go 55 and 65 like the previous post suggested , I like the softer ride so i run lower in the rear , also a good way to judge is to look at the side wall and make sure the tires have the same amount of "squish" .
Make sure you don't exceed the max pressure rating of your tires. Some might tolerate it better than others, but we blew up 2 tires on the highway at 70+ mph because they were 10 psi over their max. Turns out we had a tire gauge that read 10 psi off.
As implied above, we run all our tires at their max rated psi. Not the best ride, but they tend to get good mileage, and since we almost always carry a load, they wear pretty well too. If you want a better ride and better traction, turn the pressure down until they barely start looking "low".

65 front and 55 rear when running empty. 70 all the way around when pulling my 12000lb 5th wheel. (E rated tires). 
They're rated for a "E" load range and 80 psi,,,i'll probly bump em up to about 65
On E range tires, we always set them to 55psi for the people who never really tow. Gives the best ride, decent fuel economy, and good wear. But this was on Bridgestone and Firestone tires.
When you go to tow, bump them up.
Now trailer tires and such, always run them at the max.
