Weigh your truck loaded use the numbers on the weight chart for your tires and inflate per chart, add 5psi to each pressure . Chart says 60 run 65.
All you are going to get on here are opinions. Use the chart that is what they are for.
If you then want to use a chart, use mine, they are better then the American charts and even better then the European charts.
Extra save pressure/loadcapacity-lists.
First determine the maximum load and maxloadpressure by looking on the sidewall, or get it from the list from the tire maker.
Then open the PDF beginning with the maxloadpressure ( yours 80 psi) and search the maximum load or Loadindex( LI) in that list at the front row, then look the wantend load back and read the needed pressure below or above that.
If you have weighed , add 10% to the axle weight before looking back in the list.
The PDF's are given per tire, axle single and dual, so you dont have to devide by the number of tires on the axle yourselfes.
Lists in America are always given per tire, In Europe always per axle.
