[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 398865, member: 432"] The max pressure on the sidewall states the maximum pressure for the maximum load. If you are not going to be hauling anywhere near the maximum stated load I would back off the pressure a little. You then need to keep a close eye on the tire temps to make sure you are not under-inflating them. If you under inflate them the tire will flex more causing heat which will cause tire failure. An under-inflated tire increases rolling resistance which also causes the bearings to work harder. You will then need to keep a closer eye on the bearings also. There is a happy medium but finding it is tricky. [/QUOTE]
