Tire Pressure

What's the consensus on Max tire pressure when towing 10K. Generally I run max tire pressure as rated on the tire for both the trailer and tow vehicle, with the exception of the front tires on the tow vehicle I run about 5 lbs under max tire rated pressure because I think the front runs a little light when towing.

    Weight the axles and set the pressure according to the tire mfg load inflation tables.

    I've often weighted at the free OR scales.

    The pressure that gives the tire its max weight capacity.
