Tire inflation
Got E rated tires installed, 80psi max, Tire guy said it would be better to run around 65-70 psi as tires heat up. Always thought I should run max cold rating 80psi. FW weight is around 9000 lbs hooke...

You really need to learn to chew gum and think. There are many other aspects of tire friction, construction, compound, air pressure and many other items. The same engineering goals still stand. Just like the last 30 years.

Really, so answer me this if construction of the tire is so important to where it is used??
Semis, buy NEW tires for the steer axle, as required by law. once the tread gets worn, those casings are caped, and likely first placed in the drive axles for a couple cycles. Then after several cycles, they are capped and placed in use as trailer tires. All with the same casing construction, just a change in tread design!
So those of us that run LT tires are doing the same a Semi owner/drivers.
