Over/under MAX has nothing to do with "PROPER" inflation. There is a reason for every tire there is a Load/Inflation chart.
Weigh your axles and add 5psi to what the chart recommends. This is per GY Tech support for when a person wants to use the brain GOD has given you instead of blindly airing to MAX sidewall pressure.
Im just curious.... if the chart is gospel, why go 5psi above what the chart recommends?

This is directly from GY Tech support. "When changing to a higher load range or wanting to have a better ride, better stopping traction and tread wear use the inflation chart and add 5psi".
They said to weigh each tire if possible as one side can weigh more than the other. The 5psi I assume is to compensate for one side weighing more than the other as most can't weigh each tire. They said "use the heaviest tire to determine inflation on each axle".
