Truck Tire Pressure
I have been running 80 psi cold in my front and rear truck tires. Truck is '09 F-250, crew, 4x4, with factory 20" wheels. Tow a 9500lb loaded TT. Not sure why but just thought it was safer to max the...

I go by the PSI shown on the sidewall of the tire. I always keep pressure at the max shown even if no load in the truck.
No reason, I just do it so I don't have to worry about adding air if carrying a load. Some folks lower the pressure to improve the ride.
Must ride like a rock!
That is the Max pressure for the Max weight listed on the side wall!
Bad tire wear and less traction unless you place that amount of weight on the tire.
I run about 55 front and 45 to 65 rear unloaded/loaded! I place 5,500# on the rear loaded, total tire rating is 6,830#. That is 1,300# less than the max, so less air pressure. Makes for a better contact patch for traction.
