YEP, Add 5 psi to the chart.
No I am not the only person doing so.
My Avion had GY "E" tires inflated to 80psi. Changed toy to GY "G" because there were no acceptable US Made "E" tires at that time so I went to the GY "G" tires and the chart said 80 so i ran them at 85psi. Ran this for several years and thousands of miles with perfect tread wear and NEVER hot.
Charts are there for a reason.
It just seems you are the only one promoting it, but if you say so.
Read any replacement tire SOP and they all follow the industry standard that says; the replacement tires MUST, provide a load capacity equal to or greater than, what the OE tires provided at vehicle manufacturer recommended cold inflation pressures.
Which is why so many chain shops refuse to put LTs directly on a trailer, so you have to bring in the wheels to have them installed.
