X1000 percent...illegal and a danger to you and everyone around you
In Europe/Japan/etc...if they caught you with those on that TV...they'd
ticket and boot you spot on
Then find the dealer who installed them and fine them. To even revoke
their business license. If injury from that vehicle (even if not 'cuz
of the tires)....jail time for the owner of that shop which installed'm
The door label from the OEM for that vehicle has the
tire class and size
Since it says 70PSI, it must be in the 'LT' class tire. With the tires
sidewall listing of 44PSI...it is a lower class tire...AKA 'P' class
Which needs to be DE-RATED a min of 9% of it's sidewall ratings
when used on a pickup
Forget about freebie advice on these types of forums. Go by the facts
and that is your vehicle's door label. That tires class and size is
the MINIMUM tire
Plus...all things designed/engineered are NOT for the good days out
there when a riding lawn mower 'can do it', but for the worst day
out there when Mr Murphy crosses your path.
Either you have the proper sized everything, or not. No time to go back
to the store for bigger/better...nor re-setup/adjust
(edit)...PS...the PO might have also changed out the wheels and to
be safe, check their ratings. There are like ratings for wheels and
the kind of person who did that...might have gone to 'P' class wheels too

Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone can help me with a tire pressure question. I have a 2006 dodge mega cab 1500, 5.9 hemi. I have a 26 foot starcraft ar-one wide body weighing about 5000 lbs. My tires say max tire pressure is 44 psi. My door panel says max load pressure is 70 psi. Normally I know to never exceed max tire pressure on a tire. Is there something different about towing that allows you to go above a tires max psi? When I put 44psi in all my tires they still look a little low. And when I put the trailer on the hitch it looks really low. Is it bad to put over the max tires psi when towing? Any anwers are appreciated. Thanks.
WARNING!!!
You need to replace those tires IMMEDIATELY. You've got the wrong kind of tires and they are going to fail due to overloading.
DON"T WAIT!! DO IT NOW!!
Go to a tire dealer and have them look at the situation.
