Tyre Pressure
I have a 2012 Ford F 450 dually and will be traveling to lawn Hill towing a 25ft 4.2 ton van,there is 45klm of dirt corrugated road and i will need to drop tyre pressure is there a scale anybody uses to work out how much you drop out of your tyres.
The tyres i have on the the truck are B F Goodridge 245x75x17 and i run 60psi in the front and 50psi in the rear.
Cheers

It does comes down to how fast you are travelling and how hot it is.
Your regular pressures are on the low side - particularly while loaded. I would leave them be.
I use this as a rough guide for mine, which is from my parents Camper (same E-rated tyres)

• Highway @ 6500 Kgs. Front 70-75 PSI / Rear – 75-80 PSI
• Dirt Roads @ 6500 Kgs. Front 60-65 PSI / Rear – 65-70 PSI
• Off Road / Mud @ 6500 Kgs. Front 55-60 PSI / Rear – 60-65 PSI
• Beach Sand @ 6500 Kgs. Front 50-40 PSI / Rear – 55-45 PSI*
*Lower pressures may be needed in very soft sand. 20-25 PSI but speed must be kept very low and tyres re-inflated when conditions clear.
