The door decal calls for 60 pounds in the front & 80 pounds in the rear. I suppose the 60 lbs in the front is for a smoother ride. But, what does 60lbs 24/7/365 in an 80 lbs tire do to tire wear?

I'm really pleased with the rear wear on the Transforce, but even with equal wear out across the fronts is another story.
If the tire wears in the center, too much air pressure, if it wears on the inside AND outside edges, too low of pressure. If they wear on inside OR outside edge, alignment. If they wear choppy, shocks.

Do you drive this a lot with no load? If so, the front of the truck is heavier than the rear, so it will wear the fronts faster.
