tire pressure for tv

IF they are truck tires fill to the door post recommendations. If they are p rated (passenger car tires) fill them to the max on sidewall

On a single rear wheel truck loaded/towing, use the max sidewall pressure on the rear tires.

On that truck, it's likely 50 psi, if it has LT truck tires. If it has P car tires, they may be only 35 psi max, and should be changed out to LT truck tires instead.

It is the same reason folks run tires with more load capacity than they need. To help control the trailer. And of course. The higher PSI raises the load capacity of the tire to max as well.

Do this...

In order to improve my tow experience I had to experiment with diferent amounts of air in my TV tires. I finally liked the ride best when my rear tires were set to 75psi and the fronts to 68psi. Anything less would give me a squishy feel and anything closer to max tire pressure,80 psi, would give me the feeling the tires were not gripping the road.
I think once you know thw max tire pressure your TV tires can handle you will need to experiment also.

Follow the tire pressure in your door seal, but do not exceed the max pressure printed on the tire. Your tires can fit different vehicles that have a different weight and different weight distribution. The tire pressure in the door jamb is for your specific truck fully loaded.

Depends on the loads on the tires in that situation.
also need to know more about the tires on your Dodge.

Wat you call the maximum pressure is probably the pressure you need for the maximum load, a complicated story, is different for P-tires and XL/reinforced/Extraload. P and XL// give maximum pressure on sidewall, and pressure needed for the maximum load ( called maxloadpressure or reference-pressure) is for P-tires 35 psi and for XL// 41 psi.
C-load /6PR and up give maxloadpressure and the maximum pressure is higher .

so to determine a save lowest pressure I need from car next.
GVWR ( gross vehicle weight rating) , GAWR's ( Gross axle weight ratings), If you have them real weight axle , or better even seperate wheel-weights in de condition you ride it.
Maximum speed of car or speed you sertainly wont go over when towing.
If it is done the camber angle of mostly only the rear wheels ( tires like this on the axle/-\).

From tires the exact sises , Loadindex or maximum load, kind of tire and given maxload or maximum pressure. If the tires are off road kind with large profile blocks that cover the sidewall a part, yudge that and write it down too, those have lower maximum save load then is written on them.

I also raise the PSI when towing. if in doubt go ask the tire man, he will know.

Look at the data plate on door, door sill.
It will list normal tire psi and towing psi

I pump up rear tires to max sidewall psi because I am towing at limit
I lower rear tire psi when not towing
My front tire psi doesn't change because front axle weight doesn't change whether towing or not

Remember your rear tires are carrying a heavier load when towing so higher psi....but not needed when not towing
