Hi.
Question: What is the recommendation on the side of the tire wall of the tires you currently running when loaded? When unloaded I would follow the same requirement again as seen on side tire wall.
The pressure listed on the sidewall is the Maximum pressure and the weight that the tire will carry at that pressure. It is not the best pressure for all loads. The same goes for the pressure on the loading sticker the pressure listed on that sticker is to carry the payload listed on the label.
If you are carrying less than the tire is overinflated for the load and results in loss of traction!
In winter I don't need to add weight to my bed just run the correct pressure for the load.
