Did you pressure up your P tires to max?
And what is that max?
Seen some newer P's with over 50psi max. which should help with side flex and towing.
I actually went to 35 psi on the tires. The max is 51 psi but not sure how much tread would reach the pavement at that high of a pressure.
With my previous '12 F150 and LT BFGoodrich T/A All Terrain KO2s, going up to 52 psi didn't allow the row of tread next to the edge to meet the pavement using the chalk test. 47 psi was good for complete contact.
I'll have to do some research and make sure higher pressures will help and not hinder.
Thanks
That is an great example of why inflating tires to the MAX listed on the side wall is not the correct method. Mike is using the chalk test, tape works also, or an inflation table from the manufacture.
:) Hi, my 2014 F-150 has load range "C" LT tires on it. Label says to run 35 lbs. front and rear. I upped my pressure on my rear tires to 40 lbs. and it wasn't enough. I upped my rear tires to the max of 50 lbs. and it was great. I don't do the chalk thing, but if you are, you should do it with your trailer attached. ( no mention of doing the chalk test with trailer attached )
