Dave, what are your tires rated at or recommended to be inflated to? 75ish I guess? I know big big truck tires are at ~85psi.

Oh, and for the dude curious about truck psi, it's really easy to overload a truck with underinflated tires - it's the cause of many a truck or trailer blowout - having them at 30-40 psi and then throwing a load in the back heats up the sidewall!
