tire pressure
just had new G rated Sailun tires put on rig. These tires are rated at 110 psi Our rig weights around 19,000 lbs Am I okay to keep the psi at 90lbs or should I always keep them at 110 psi?

Okay, let me get this straight: you, Tireman9, and CapriRacer say it's bad to run lower than max air pressure regardless of weight loadings.
Goodyear publishes tire pressure charts to use if you're not towing max weights. They have these charts for motorized vehicles and towed vehicles. But now you all say those charts and Goodyear are wrong, and not to be used, even though they specifically say they are for RV trailers.
Why does Goodyear list varying pressures for ST tires based are carried weight. Those ST tires go on "Trailers". Why should we obey you three and not listen to Goodyear who actually makes tires?
Goodyear specifically says "The proper air inflation for your tires depends on how much your fully loaded RV or trailer weighs." It specifically says "trailer", not "truck/MH/class A/class C/Van/etc with tires at the corners" but trailers "with close spaced axles".
Why doesn't this conflict with your opinions that trailers should always run max sidewall pressure regardless of weight. No offense, but you guys are voicing your opinions, as opposed to what Goodyear says should be done. Excuse me if I give more weight to a real tire builder over some RV forum posters. If I see that Goodyear has changed their stance on varying pressures for varying weights, then I will give your opinions more credence.
Til then we'll just have to agree to disagree.
