Ok, so some of you DO adjust the air pressure... For those who do adjust, how do you increase the pressure? Do you use a portable air compressor hooked up to the cigarette 12V power?
When we eventually go full-timing, we will drive a 1t dually. Will dually behave ok not towing when the tires are max pressured? We do expect to drive every day and sometimes 100-200 miles at a time when not towing.
Any tire shop will gladly fill or deflate your tires for you.
I have a friend that has a 07.5 RAM Dually that he tows a Heavy RV and he leaves the rear tire pressure at 80 all the time and the centers of the rear tires are wearing severely. He rarely drives the truck solo.
Look at the weight charts for your tires. I run 60 psi rear on my dually with 5K pin weight and my tires are properly inflated for my load.
Solo I air down to 45 and my tires wear very evenly and I have a great ride all the time.
