I have had much better tire life running 80psi, little rough in the X, but I dont like buying tires so I deal with the little rougher ride.

Run what is listd on the inside of the drivers door jamb. If you go with what is onthe sidewall it will ride harsh. The vibration will rattle your teeth out as well as everything else in your truck.

Driving around yesterday. Wife decided she wanted mulch. A whole truck load. Some for her and some for her sister. Something like 50 bags. Now i here, i have to get more today.
Always prepared to carry. Never know what you will be tossing in the back.
So glad my tires are at 80. Under deflated tires go co boom.
ALso switching over them rubber stems to all metal. Every tire i have go flat is from tire stem failure. When i put air in. The rubber ones start hissing.. Dry rotten.

That's what I run also. A little rougher ride but better mileage and it doesn't feel all mushy and it's easier to steer.

Same here, I drop them down a little if they are "bubbled" in the middle. I usually look at how the tread contacts the ground and go from there.

I have always gone with a chalk line system. draw a line accross the tire and mark the side wall so you know where it is. if the edges where off first, the too little air, if the center goes first then too much. I usually due this on a new set of tires and remember the numbers for later.

I'm lazy. Door jam says 60, sidewall says 80 max, so I run 70 all the way around. I just have to drive the (dually) carefully around corners when it rains or it will slide out on me.
