General rule for tire pressure?
I know the best answer is going to be "take everything to scales and check the pressure charts"....but is there a general rule of thumb if this can't be done? Thanks

Tire PSI is more to hole the tires shape than just holding up weight
Just 15PSI or so for most tires will 'LIFT' the vehicle corner's wheel
off the ground.
Higher than that is to maintain the tires shape for its duties. Stopping,
accelerating, directional control, shock absorber, etc, etc
Might be helpful showing what can happen to over inflated and under inflated
Did a quick search and posting several examples for others to also
see/learn about this, as this question is a constant
X2 on mower's chalk test. Add that some use masking tape. I always
check when there is a transition from wet to dry pavement and look
at the tread contact patch on dry
