I can't find disagreement with the statements posted. It makes no sense with a empty truck to run 80 psi and putting only the center of the tire on the roadway. Because that is all that is in contact if you look. I air up to pull/haul 65 to 80 psi and back down to 55 or 60 psi when empty. The tire will last longer but, more important the truck drives better. Better stopping, cornering etc. easier on your back. On police trucks I was issused, 4 total, the install guys always took off the factory tries and put on 10 plys with 80psi. I had to drop them down to 60 on the 1/2 tons and 65 on 3/4 ton. They were unsafe to drive as a police vehicle with that much air. The 3/4 had to haul a 8,000lb boat so 65 was the best since I did not have time to air up/down tires. It also had tire senors and the yellow warning light remained on for the 18 months I had it.
