What pressure do you run in your pickup tires?

On the door of my Dodge 2500, it says it says 65psi front, 80 psi back, but that is for 245/75-16; My truck came with optional 265/75-16, which I have stayed with.

The supplement with my manual, say with the 2500 and diesel with 265/75-16, to run 45 front, 40 rear with light load, and 55 front/70 rear with full load.

45 front/40 rear just seems low, and soft. But, with no load 70 rear is too high, and wears the middle of the tires.

What do you run?

I used my trucks so much at capacity or over I run the listed pressure on the door jamb. It gives a rough ride but its a truck.

As for tire wear I get 30-35k on my F-350. Got the same on all the 3/4 ton and 1 tons I have owned. My 1/2 tons I get right at 50K on the tires.
