Look on the side of your tires and you will see some raised letters telling you what is the min and max tire pressure for your tire. I would also double check to make sure your rim is designed and has the load capacity to hold the max tire pressure of your tire. On the inside of the rim there should also be written the max capacity of that specific rim. When in doubt, I drive my trailer to my local Les Schwab tire shop and they can tell you. With my 5th wheel at 14K when loaded i put 110lbs. of air pressure in the tires.

Correct answer^^^^!
Dually pickup do NOT need rear tires inflated to max sidewall inflation numbers, as the load to spread across 4 tires. Chris
And that's what caused all the tire failures on those Fords years ago. Imagine an Expedition loaded with a family and luggage and the tires inflated to the door sticker...which was 28 lbs. No wonder the tires failed and killed all those people. Stupidity from Ford and stupidity by the car owners who blindly followed along.

Looking at TV tire pressure not 5er pressure.
