Tire presure for SRW with 19.5 G rated tires?

Getting conflicting advice on what TV tire pressures to run. Truck is a SRW F-350 with aftermarket Vision Hauler 19.5 x 7.5 wheels. Tires are Coopper Roadmaster 245/70-19.5 G rated at 4520 lbs. @ 110#

Towing Toy Hauler in sig, +/-14k# loaded, approx. 2900lb pin.
Truck is only used for towing.
When I bought the wheel/tire combo, I thought they told me to run 80-85. Others said run 100-110. I've been compromising and running 100 rear, 90 front.

Checked tire temps last trip on an 80 degree sunny day after driving 100 highway miles @ 60-65mph. Fronts were 106F and rears were 116F. All 6 trailer tires, E rated Maxxis ST at 80#, were in the mid-upper 120's. Seems good to me but just seeing what others might have to add.

  • Also note that these are commercial class tires and DO NOT have
    a safety bead on the wheel rim

    So that means always keep them aired up and do NOT air them down like
    one would for the lower class tires ("P" and "LT") for 'ride quality'
  • I run 110psi on a single rear wheel, 85 up front loaded. Your temps sound fine. I've noticed the sun side of the vehicle can be 10deg warmer.
  • Hi,

    It seems like you have a adequate pressure. It might be a little to high, but better to error on the higher side of things. I would try 90 rear and 75 front, it might ride a bit better. There is only about 2,500 pounds on each of the front tires. Rear tires are well under 4,000 pounds, so 90 should be fine.

    Fred.

    PS: I hope that you already installed a coolant filter. Napa part# FIL 4070 and a kit to install it is FIL 4019. You can do the job yourself in about 2 hours with plenty of time off for coffee breaks.
