Thanks everyone, I'll just keep an eye on the pressure and likely just keep the setting it's at now.

The tires will be ordered next week. The Goodyear Wrangler Adventurer with Kevlar seems to be the best LT tire for the 18" factory wheels IMO. Other tires as the Revo 2 and BFgoodrich AT KO2 were all Load E which required to much pressure for max load rating for the factory wheels. All tire shops recommended against using a lower pressure on load E LT Tires saying load capacity, wear, and performance would be poor.

Seems the weak spot for these tires is mud as they load up and don't clean out as good as mud tires but they do have better road characteristics than most which is a plus.

**EDIT** I did not put those links in my thread so please ignore them as they are not "MY" doing!

Well as I said they are what came on my truck and the sticker pressure is 55/60. They work fine. Yes they are stiff. Better for towing.

Sounds like you have some malware on your pc, happened to me a while back, check your control panel for any programs you do not recognize as being installed by you, typically when you install a program and select the default settings it installs other crap like tool bars etc.... uninstall them.

Also download and install the free Malwarebytes. It will cleanse your machine of ill will items like that.

Don't matter what website your on when it happens, most of them are completely random, wont cost you a dime or much time to run a scan, you might just be surprised what it finds.

For the tires I was looking at, they can't be aired to under 80 psi without the rating being compromised with poor wear and performance according to all the tire shops I've talked to. The E load needs to be aired to 80 psi as well as the load C needs to be aired to 50 psi.

If that were so, then Ford would not supply load range E tires from the factory and have the sticker printed thus. Note the tire load range on the sticker.
