    Re: PSI?

    I found this tire pressure calculator that converts stock tire psi/ratings to a different tire/rating.

    https://tiresize.com/pressure-calculator/

    On my truck, stock tires are LT285/60R20 E 125; and new tires are 35x12.5 R18 F 128.

    According to the calculator, the recommended F/R PSI of 65/80 converts to: 55 front/71 rear on the new tires, based on the different rating and load capacity.

    I still need to do the chalk test, but perhaps a good starting point if you found a PSI you liked (or want to run recommended pressures) on stock tires.

    I always run about 65-70 in the front and 60 in the rear empty and 80 in the rear with my fifth wheel.

    TPMS Is set to 30psi so I will know if I get a flat.

    You could always do the chalk test as well
    I run the same!

    No way am I going to run over 60psi in the rear tires unless towing - there is NO reason to!

    Only thing is see from this is possible uneven premature tire wear. (If not loaded 24/7 where the full tire contact patch is in contact with the tarmac)
