Empty tire pressures?
What empty tire pressures are you guys running? Off the lot, the dealer only had 40psi in them and the fronts looked like they were taking a beating. I upped the pressure to 55psi and they look a little better.

Mine were also at 40 from the dealer. I put the front at 65 and the rears at 50. I figured I'd go a little lower in the read since I'm running duals.

I've got the Michellins(so does brother Paul). We pull with 65 pounds front and back. We drop them to 50 pounds when unloaded and leave them there. Paul's pulled with CTD's since '97(3 trucks).
