Correct tire pressure
I know this gets touched on occasionally but I'd like to see a full discussion. I have load rating E tires. 3450 lbs at 80 psi. I run about 5000 lbs per axel. I've seen the ratio addressed: 2500/34...

If you put max PSI in the tire but load it very lightly won't the tire wear in the center improperly?
The problem here is that tire wear is complex and while tire pressure is important to get even wear, there are other factors that have a greater effect.
Put another way, it is quite possible to get uneven tire wear in spite of the tire being properly inflated - and it is quite possible to get even wear on a improperly inflated tire.
And one last thought: Tire load tables are MAXIMUMS, not recommendations.
