Truck tire pressure.
Recommended cold PSI is 60 front & 65 rear. They are Michelin 275/65/20 load range E on a 2017 F250 Power Stroke. Should I increase the pressure when towing my 39' toy hauler (Triton by Voltage)?

I’ve owned many trucks and autos over the last several decades.. I’ve never seen 100K on any set of tires no matter what brand... I am sorry but I don’t buy into 100K on tire mileage..
And if you are towing a fifth wheel I’d bet getting 50K would be about the maximum you’d ever be able to see, and have any safe level of tread depth left..
I have no reason to lie! The 100k was with BFG's and 120 Michelins. These were 3rd gen takeoffs. I commuted 40-60 miles each day in NW WA and towed weekends in the Summer.
I spose you will not believe me when I tell you my rear tires never rotated on my 81 VW PU made it to 150K and still has 3/16" tread left.
These Michelins shown below had 40K on them with plenty of towing with 4,500# pin. 11 RAM Dually. The Michelins I just removed from my 15 only made it to 40 because I was lazy and did not lower the pressures and I think they were not as good of quality as the set shown.
