You just proved my point. Correct inflation = what the tire was designed for. You can tell that by what's stamped on the sidewall. If the tire says 80, put it to 80. If the tire says 40, put it to 40. I wholeheartedly agree that over inflation is as bad or worse than under inflation. How can one possibly justify asking the tire to perform as intended while not giving it what it needs to do so? Your truck, your tire, your call. But as for me and the safety of my family, I will run the tire as the manufacturer intended.

Tires state "Max Load xxxx at Max yyy PSI inflation". Go take a look! They do NOT say inflate to 80 lbs (LRE). Call your tire manufacturers CS number and see what they say. Chris

So you would rather max the tire out by under inflating it rather than having the capacity it was built for? Every tire I have ever bought has come out of the shop/dealer fully inflated. If the tire wasn't intended to be run at a given psi, it wouldn't be stamped on the tire. I obviously don't understand the logic of not using all the capability you have.
