Congradulations you have the first step to setting the correct tire pressure. Go the the tire mfg load inflation table for your tires and set the tire psi per axle per given weight when cold as indicated. Weight is based on fully loaded, full fuel, water and propane.
Example: My steers are set to 120psi and duals to 90 psi based on axle weight and 2 vs 4 tires on the axle, same tires.
Max psi is used when you don't know the weight or think you know more than the tire mfg.
I've seen 140F internal tire temps, just keep on trucking.
