Guess you missed, How to Determine the Minimum".
There are those who inflate till they think the truck feels right. A problem in suspension tuning, not tire pressure.
Correct is per Load. Load is determined per individual wheel. The wheel with the heaviest load on an axle determines pressure.
And after that, comes time for play: Acceptable pressure rise after steady state running?
If no air "required", then playing with 5-psi increments is just that. Testing and experimentation are play.
Same with maneuvers inside vehicle performance envelope. First question is what determines the latter.
I recommend those without brain or heart stick to public transportation.
Want to help with specifics of one tire type over another, thanks. Want to speak from a nether region? No thanks.
The correct pressure for the load is weight based. And road tested.
