Less weight on a tire is less force "scrubbing" I would not run a D tire at lower than max if that is what the tire weight is. If I did there would be more "scrubbing" and more chance of damage. A heavier tire will handle more stress even at lower pressures as long as the weight isn't over the inflation rating.
Simple common sense here folks.
So you EXPERTS what should I inflate my 6,005# tires to that the load is 4,500#????????? Don't seem to be getting an answer?????
NO mention of any 50% capacity from GY Tech support. I guess they have no idea what they are talking about.
Maybe one of you can tell Jerry why the outer edges of his tires are wearing much more than the rest of the tire??? No way it's from scrubbing, unless the tread compound is so poor it just peels off. Don't think that is so because he has gotten lots of miles on them.
