tire pressure question
Just put Michelen lt tires on my 2013 f150 4x4 cc. Max pressure is 80 psi. E rated. My question is what would be a good pressure to run when not towing or hauling? What do you folks do? Door jam...

Most tire manufacturers publish inflation charts based on the actual load for a specific tire. Putting load range E tires on a 1/2 ton truck, your best bet is to weigh the truck (both as you would drive it daily and with your RV hitched up) and find the inflation pressures for the various loads on Michelin's inflation charts for that tire. With LR E tires on my 3/4 ton diesel, the door sticker says 65 front and 75 rear. Since my fifth wheel puts the maximum load on the rear axle and tires when hitched up, I inflate the rear tires to the maximum stated on the tire (80 PSI). The dealer you bought the tires from may be able to help you figure things out, too. In any case, I doubt that the full 80 PSI would be appropriate for the loads on a 1/2 ton truck.
