Just want to quickly say that my P tires on the Tahoe were rated to nearly 10,000 lbs of capacity at max PSI. REGARDLESS of that. It was a squishy ride with my TT... and now that I have them on the Tahoe I realize just how squishy the empty ride was, because even at 41 PSI the ride is much more sure footed.
As to how am I going to air up my tires. I’m going to test on it and see which psi works for me while empty and which works for my load while towing.
I just changed to LT’s and I am well pleased.
Relax a bit and stop getting lost in the charts and just test on it. It’s really not that complex.
Thanks, and JMHO

I struggled with the decision to upgrade to an LT tire as the P rated tire was technically rated well enough to pull as big of trailer as the truck can technically handle. However, standing on the bumper with the trailer hooked up and doing even the slightest bounce and seeing those P rated tires flex the way they did nudged me towards the LT tire. Now after having them installed for a few days I'm happy with the decision. The ride comfort is still good but I"ll be curious to see what impact there is on fuel economy. This Nokian 10 ply tire weighs the same as the P rated tire I had on before so hopefully not too much impact.
I want to get the tire pressure as spot on initially as possible. By the time I will notice uneven wear, the tire will already be unevenly worn.
