One thing I noticed on our BFG AT 285's - we have to keep them aired up even when not loaded. We run at 65 front, 75 in the rear, then bump up to 70 front and 80 rear when we haul the TC.
Why? That's alotta air empty.
X2. I run my ATs at 50 all around when empty, and bump the rears to 80 for hauling.
After all these years (40+) riding on BFG "E" tires, I find that pressure rides the best, and wears tread the best. For the record, I seldom drive the 2500HD without a load anyway - we have a SUV for run around at home, so the truck usually sits when empty unless Genie takes the SUV somewhere at same time I go out. And, we do not haul a toad when traveling.
Makes sense for running loaded and no, I don't air down for short term if they're aired up already for hauling, but that's harsh for daily driver unloaded.
