Then you fret if the tires on the trailer are 5 pounds under 110 PSI and find some need to carry a air compressor. There are things you can do to make the truck ride better but under inflating tires isn't one of them. My sticker in the door says 65 front 80 rear. I guess that's a suggestion. So some believe one sticker and disregard the other. Go figure.

This is so interesting Ruff Rider likely has a SRW truck, this discussion is about a DRW, my door sticker on our DRW states 65 psi for full 9,750# on rear axle. I inflate to load and run about 55 to 60 psi, which is not under inflated. Tire is inflated for load carried, running 80 psi on a SRW unloaded is grossly over inflated.
