tire pressure
Should the tires always be inflated to the maximum pressure that it says on the sidewall?

It is pretty well understood that the recommended TV tire pressure is the “cold” tire pressure. It is generally expressed as such on labels and in the manuals.
However, the writing on the side of the TV tire states a maximum inflation pressure. It does state whether it is that this is the maximum “cold” pressure or the not to exceed pressure.
Since 75% of my TV service is day to day driving I keep the tire at the factory recommended pressure for the best ride and tire wear. When towing and near the max cargo limit, I boost them to 40 psi. this is still under the max tire limit.
I keep the TT tires at 50 psi because that is what the manufacturer has deemed appropriate for the tires they provided.
