Question Under pressure

Do you run your TT tires at max pressure?

I run them a little tight in he colder months and softer in the summer. But hardly never at max. When I say tight and soft, I mean just by a pound or two.

I run max pressure. My assumption is that there is less resistance on the road thereby increasing efficiency. The downside I suppose is that there will be more feeling of bumps.

Yes, I check them before leaving and air them up to the 65 pound noted on the tires and in my FW owners' manual. 80 in the rear tires of my tv and 65 in the front, as called for by the manufacturer.

Yes, TT tires at max. Ran at 50 psi when I had load range C tires. Upgraded to load range D's and now run them at 60 psi.

TT @ max (80 PSI) to get maximum load.
TV Rear @ max (80 PSI) again to get maximum load.
TV Front @ 60 - 65 PSI, found this is where I get the best ride.

In winter when not towing I drop the TV Rear to ~70 PSI.

TT always at max sidewall pressure (50psi). TV still has P-rated OEM tires so at max sidewall pressure when towing (44psi), otherwise manufacturer recommended pressure per the door sticker when not towing (39psi).

I have a 23j (hybrid), my set up bounces so bad that I don't run them at hight pressure. I usually have about 45 lbs of pressure in them when they are cold.

TT at max of 80 PSI
TV Rear at max of 80 PSI per manual
TV Front at 65 PSI (80 is max) per manual

All measured cold with digital TP gauge. TT tires are measured and adjusted at least once each trip, and the truck has TPMS, so adjusted as necessary, and checked before towing or during oil change when I rotate them.

Trailer manual says to run them at max PSI, that's 50 for my trailer tires.

There is something wrong somewhere. It shouldn't bounce because they are at max psi, in fact the manual says to run them at max. Low pressure is one of the biggest causes for tire failure.

You should spend some time finding out what's going on.
