Now that's a new concept..........over inflate so they run cooler :H
Don't think I'll give that a try any time soon or ever.
OP
MAX PSI is MAX Pressure tires should be inflated to for max load rating.
If you check/adjust them in the morning...then 50# is what you should inflate to if 50# is your MAX PSI on tire.
Not really a new concept at all. It's simple, the more pressure you run the cooler the tire will run.
It's up to you whether you try it or not. When a tire maker recommends to run 10 over I will give it a try to keep my tires cool in hot weather to keep them alive. 35+ years, all with ST tires with one tire failure is a pretty good record I think.
You're turn OB.
