underinflation

[rlocicero]

No one should recommend riding on underinflated tires. If affecta the side walls and promotes a build up of heat. If you want capacity, buy the tire for that. If you want a comfie ride, buy the tire for that. Otherwise be prepared to compromize.

Yeah, take that!

Tire inflation pressure is shown as a MAX on my tires. If I'm not carrying much of a load, I can drive fine, tires don't overheat, what is your point?

Op is 100% right however, there are some trucks/brands that ride absolutely terrible with full tire inflation when not carrying or towing and people will underinflate to make the ride even bearable. Thus sacrificing handling characteristics, ability, safety, and of course tire tread life. I have to ask why would they even do this when there are better choices and so avoidable? Some vehicles even ride harsh and jolting when loaded! They'd made their choice and get the ride that comes with it and then use the band aid approach to solve the well known issues that are built it. DUH!

I had a nasty-riding F450 which was related to the tires being 90lb. I dropped that to 60 and helped the ride somewhat. Never hurt the tire at all.

It depends on the heat and the load you're carrying.

Naw, I normally run my tires without inflating them. It saves chocking the wheels when I get to a campground....:)
