You run you pickup tires at 80 PSI, and the centers don't burn out? Not too be smart, but that defies physics unless the truck is only driven on grass.. There can't be more than 1.5 inches of tread contact unless the truck weighs 10 tons...Even then.....
My truck calls for 30PSI by spec, and 6lbs of overinflation caused premature wear on the centers of my rear tires in 1,00 miles..Max sidewall is 44lbs. I would be replacing the tires at 8,000 miles if I did that.
Not arguing...Just sayin'![]()
You seem to be missing the fact that different vehicles will have different load ratings, and so will the tires. Heavier load ratings will mean higher air pressures. For example: A 1/2 ton truck tire may be rated for 35-50 psi, while a 3/4 ton will be much higher, like 60-80 or more.
