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...

OP here. My concern on running 35-40 psi empty was that the tires might not wear properly.
If 35-40 will not hurt the tire wear then that is what I will do. But it makes sense that more pressure is only needed for more carrying capacity.
Right now got them pumped to 55 because we are leaving on a towing trip this week.
It rides pretty good at 55 with the new Bilstein shocks. Man those are nice shocks and big improvement over stock!
Can't speak for what you need for towing, dunno how much weight you're adding, but unless you're putting serious tongue weight on the back I can't imagine needing more than about 50psi Max rear.
As far as driving empty, pick what feels best between 30 and 40 psi. Trust me. Been running D and E load tires on half tons for 20 plus years.
