I tend to run 80 psi in all my tires not only because that's what the tires want for max load capacity but also because there's a lot less rolling resistance, therefor better mileage.
Try lowering your air pressure and pushing your truck across a smooth floor, then try it with them at max pressure and you'll see a "yuge" difference.
I don't mean to say everyone else should do that, if a softer ride is more important then by all means run less pressure. That's just why I run mine at max.
You can do as you please but proper inflation will give LONGER tire life and BETTER stopping power.
I easily made 120K with Michelins on my 98 RAM 4x4 diesel. BFG's easily 100K. 72 front and 45 rear unloaded.
Oh yea ride quality!!! I run 35psi rear of my Dually solo and 65 with 10K load, 80 front ALL the time.
