Had tires rotated today
Steer tires had some cupping going on, had an alignment last week and had tires rotated from front to back left. Noticed when I got home they had inflated to 110#. Max pressure from mfg. (Michelin) ...

Yes the right way is to inflate by weight. I've never done that - I use the total axle weight and then consult the inflation chart based on that.
As an aside, I don't know why tire shops do that. Every time I get my car or truck back there's 40 psi in the tires. Should be 32 on both.
Yep, same here. New tires on the Yukon, 40psi from the shop. New tires on the Talon, 40 psi from the shop. New tires on the RV, 110 psi from the shop. I have tried to "explain" it to them very nicely, but they always go to what's on the side of the tire, and will argue with me. So I've stopped trying and just deflate them myself. Last time I was letting the air out of my new tires on the Yukon in their parking lot, getting them down to 34 psi.
