Ok, so my Hankooks have the same markings as the Michelin same size so I used the M table as I couldn't figure out any H tables shown.
Sidewall on my Hs says 1120 kg dual at 80lbs and the M table says 4480 needs 80 lbs. Table says you need 60 lbs for 3600 kg.
So mine are at 58lbs per door specs and the scale weight was 3570 so I am fairly close on that already. Since I am over weight a bit, I think I should put 65 lbs in the 4 back tires instead of 58, and have some margin there as well for the fact that one side takes more than the other, and leave the fronts alone.
The door specs say 58 for the fronts too, but the front weight is only 1630kg, so that makes no sense to me, but the door says what it says. (On my Chev truck the door specs say 55 front and up to 80 rear. I never had a Ford truck before, so I will just obey Ford orders and leave the fronts at 58 :)
(Actually, the garage mechanical inspection had no issues with the shocks. It all came out pretty good. Thanks, previous owner(s) !! )
