Tire Pressure

I'm sure this has been asked before ,but I'll ask again. What do you fella's recommend I run my tire pressure at to best fuel economy and ride? My sticker on the door says 75 psi cold.

Thanks!

I run 65 front and 55 rear when empty and 70 front 75 rear loaded.

I drop the pressure in the rear when unloade more for traction and ride rather than worry about mileage.

75# (for max load rating on tire). Sticker on door suggests 60 or 65#. I can not tell difference in ride at the lower pressure. I have about 16 kmiles on my 18" Conti's (approx 1/2 with 5er on the back) and have noted no unusual tire wear.

Tire Pressure

I have an 05 250 PSD, my door sticker says 75PSI, but i did a chalk test empty. I came up with 60 PSI front, and 55 PSI back empty. Rides good, and 19-20 MPG highway driving.
