tire load inflation chart

After reading a lot of post on this forum I went to my to find this chart for my tire brand. The only info. I can find is max PSI. I'm not seeing any mention of how much PSI for a given load. Can someone tell me where I can find this info. Seems I'm not good and searching the Web. My tires are the BF Goodrich Rugged Terrain size LT275/65R20E.
Thanks

    Do the load inflation tables for the same size LT tire vary by manufacturer?

    Somewhere I got the idea that they were standardized by some tire industry group.


    No, they should not vary at all. All load range C tires will be the same, as well as D, and E tires.

  • Real simple, run the PSI you see on the sidewall. That is what the tire is designed for. Running the tires over or under inflated will cause the tire to overheat which will cause damage.

    I found the same thing, they do not publish the charts.

    When I called the customer service folks they told me to inflate to the sticker on the door which is set based on max load and would not provide any other information even when I provided weights per axle.

    I expect they would be comparable to the Michelins which did publish a chart last I checked. The TPMS on my rig only allows me to inflate about 5psi less than the door sticker before it starts to complain.

    Good luck,
