America's tire recommended tire pressures
I am looking for new tires for the 5th wheel and stopped by America's tire for a price. They can order the Maxxis tire but were pushing the Carlisle. My current tires are D rated. The only Carlisle...

The MAX pressure on sidewall is for the MAX Load Rating of the tire.
My truck tires have MAX of 80# and that is what I run them at when towing.
When not towing I drop them to 45# because they don't need to be pumped up to MAX.
My trailer tires have 110# MAX and I run them at 105# because the trailer weight is less than the MAX Tire Load Rating.
I prefer to run my tires at pressure for the actual weight they are carrying.
Others run at MAX Pressure regardless of weight.
The 'D' rated tire probably has a MAX Load Rating of 2540# @65#
The 'E' rated tire probably has a MAX Load Rating of 2830# @80#----at 65# load rating would be same as 'D' tire (2540#)
I like the 'E' rated tire due to the increased load capacity.....but NOT a Carlisle Tire.
Maxxis has that size in an 'E' rating but you still have the issue of the rim load/pressure rating (stamped inside valley of rim)
