Tire Pressure with LT Tires when Towing???
Hi, I recently got a new TV--a Toyota Tundra Rock Warrior. It came with the offroad package and LT tires. I tow a 5k pound trailer (dry). What do you recommend for tire pressure both towing and ...

I personally go max pressure even on E rated tires and here is why.
1. I tow in hot weather (90 degrees is the norm) and the more pressure means less heat and less chance for tire failure.
2. The higher pressure you go means better fuel mileage and that is always a good thing. Now I know this is a very small effect but every little bit helps when towing.
I know that some will disagree with my max pressure advice and show load pressure charts and all of that and that is fine but max pressure works for me.
I agree with the max pressure as indicated on the side of the tire. I run LT "G" rated tires at 110 lbs. Running below the max pressure also creates more heat which is the major cause of blow outs in many cases.
