Air pressure when not towing
I run my truck tires at max or close to max when towing (80psi). Was thinking about lowering them down when not towing. Anyone else do that ?

I probably have more pin weight than anyone posting so far, 4,500#. Weigh your rig loaded and unloaded. Use the tire inflation chart associated with your tires.
I run 80 in the front all the time is is a bit high on the chart but it averages out for the edge wear fron turning.
On the rear I run 55 loaded and solo 45.
My truck is a 3500 RAM Dually.
If you are running 80 in the rear with a dually your rear tires will be bald in the center in no time and I would hate to ride in your rig!
I an still wondering if you have the biggest load posted and run 55 lbs loaded you are not even up to a D tire load range??? Air pressure carries the load!! "what say you" and this is just a discussion for all of us. I see less heat on our G tires on the alpenlite at higher air pressure as it builds up towing on a hot day and same tire will be the coolest.
So it seems like your lower air pressure tires would be kinda hot?
