Also, what about when towing? Should I adjust the psi when towing? I've never changed it.
If you just went from OEM P's to LT's, that door sticker no longer applies.
Common LT street pressures on 1/2 tons running LT's is 40-45 and as high as 50.
When towing, I find 55-60psi to work well. Never felt the need for max cold.
You could run max cold (likely 65 on the BFG's in the size I think you have) when towing if you really want to. But not for every day non-towing, cause they will feel like rocks.
