Tire inflation
Got E rated tires installed, 80psi max, Tire guy said it would be better to run around 65-70 psi as tires heat up. Always thought I should run max cold rating 80psi. FW weight is around 9000 lbs hooke...

If you look at tire inflation tables they say they are load limit tables not recommended pressures. If you match the table pressure to your actual load, you are running the tire at its rated limit for that pressure. These are load limit pressures, nowhere do they say they are recommended pressures.
This is a good point.
I have Firestone Transforce LT275/70R/18E tires on my SRW RAM 3500.
The empty rear axle weight is ~3600 lbs.
According to Firestone's INFLATION CHAT The inflation is 35 psi for this load.
Would you run at 35 psi?
What psi would you run at?
I think I just may try tomorrow, currently at 50 psi and a little hard!
