I run 52.5673419900 psi in mine!
Lol
na, I run 50psi w nitrogen. Played around w it from 40-60 to see the wear pattern and 50 seems good. It does ride a lil better w less but, I have new shocks/struts so, that made a big difference as well.

I run 40-45 in mine. I change the pressure twice a year in spring and fall to account for the cooler weather.
Rule of thumb: 1lb change in air pressure at rest for each 10degree change in temperature

Caution when running 50 psi in an LT tire. I was running 50 psi in a set a Nexen Roadians (inexpensive tire for a reason), and a sidewall split about a mile from the house. 10 minutes after pulling in the driveway, it was completely flat. I was told by the tire shop that 50 psi was too much for that tire. I had actually picked up a couple MPGs @ 50 psi, and the tires were wearing great with 30k miles.

Thanks, yeah I ended up backing it down to the stock pressure at 40 psi and they ride so much better and I still get decent mpgs. Checked and it can still carry more than the original payload numbers with the stock tire size.
