I'll stick with the door sticker recommendations for air pressure at axle weight ratings. For me that's 60 front and 80 rear. The fifth wheel adds no real weight to the front axle so I don't get the need to increase it so much.
Weight on the front is only part of it. Higher pressure up front may reduce some of the wiggle (sway). Tires see much more than just down force.
Over inflated tires have a smaller contact patch which reduces braking ability and they are more likely to receive impact damage! I noted 5 additional pounds of inflation for those concerned. 20 pound more = NO WAY.
Agreed.
Use a Scale to find the real Load. And stay inside vehicle manufacturer rating.
My towing combo is over 17k. And I still get over 100k on those too soft for some Michelins. Pressure according to Load. Test for pressure rise, and you're done.
