Finally someone who can explain this properly! This has been a huge debate at our company with the mechanics.

Makes perfect sense to me. I wish 100 percent of people could understand this. I’ve been at 115 in my steers and 110 in my drives for years after hearing you explain this on Kevin’s show.

Great video guys I learned a lot about tire pressures for steer and duals . Can you make a video about tire pressures for wide base (super singles) as this too is a weird topic as some manufacturers are saying 80 psi which I think is way too under inflated.

I am running a 1974 International 2070a Fleetstar that I turned into a 5 ton pickup and pull a 14ft dump trailer with it. Max load 29,000 total and my truck only has 1 rear axle. What tire pressures should I run? Essentially it is like deadheadding all the time. I figured decreasing my fronts to 90 lbs and rears to 50-60 was a good idea, after watching this, I am rethinking that. I hardly ever drive over 60 mph.

I always aim high. In this case I don't see a benefit for dropping pressure from around 100.

The third book we wrote called Common Tire Wear and Handling Issues -and is available on our website www.mdalign.com - contains our inflation discussion with graphs and examples.

Has anyone ever told you guys that your knowledge is invaluable? BUT... can I expect to see a gain in mpg running that much over inflated?

We don't sell fuel but the more pressure you start at, the smaller the footprint and therefore the less resistance/ better fuel economy. I'm not promising an amount on your truck fuel or tire life because there are many factors however more air is the cheapest, most reliable way to improve both tire life and fuel economy.

I heard you say 1:15 for the stairs but what did you say for the drives?

Drives are already overinflated by 30% at 100 psi. As far as we are concerned 90-100 is enough on dual drives
