Dodge Ram in sig
(How High?): According to the scaled load.
Each tire is at 1,985-lbs.
(7,940-lbs)
Tire maximum load is 3,000-lbs
The Load & Pressure Table (Michelin)
shows 45-psi meets equalization
Dodge wants not less than
50-psi
Maximum is 80-psi. That’s only seen when I hitch my 35’ travel trailer and am at that limit on the Drive Axle. The front moves to 55-psi.
— Overinflation ruins the ride
— Subjects the tire to more damage
— Worsens braking
— And, where FF/RR bias is ignored,
worsens handling.
My tire life average is well above 100k per set, to
the point that (2) sets covered the first
quarter-million miles.
The penalties offset the minor gains.
— Tire DESIGN is the critical factor. The right tire for intended use.
