"LT" tire pressures on Expedition
I moved up from "Heavy Load" tires on my Expedition to real "LT" tires. Max air pressure on the new tires is 80#, max pressure on the heavy load tires was 50#. I always ran my other tires at max press...

To double check the installers figures you have to use the load capacity the OE tires provided at vehicle manufacturer recommended inflation pressures. Then find the chart for the replacement tires and compare the load capacity they are providing at the installers recommended inflation pressures. Industry standards require a minimum load capacity equal to what the OE tires were providing.
This is excactly what I did to come up with the 50-55# psi number. Interesting how such a seemingly simple question takes so many turns. Makes for interesting reading. I do BTW have the official Inflation chart for cross referencing the tires ... and they are still OE size.
Also, I am not "long gone" I pretty much only read this forum while I am at work. Dont tell my boss.....
