Tire PSI
Is there anyone that has any real info on tire psi. I have talked with people I bought the tires from and looked on internet and still don't know the right answer . My sidewalls on truck and 5th wheel...

My door sticker says front 50lbs and rear 80 lbs owners manual said this pressure is good up to the max gvwr 8600lb The tires are LT 245/75R16 tireS are rated to 80 lbs truck is loaded and has a very good ride with this pressure. 30 lbs less than the max of 80 on the front.
Most people will run -20 lbs "around town", which is what I do. There's no need to run around at 80 psi. I'll tow, for short distances, at 60, but at surface street speeds and not far. I'd recommend dropping your pressure when not towing, as your tires will have a larger contact patch with the lower pressure. Heat's not an issue with no load at those pressures.
