I run my truck at the recommended pressure on the door...... NOT what it
says on the tires. Remember two years ago when I got new tires on
Bruiser and I had no control of the truck on the freeway until I figured
out what the problem was..... I let a bunch of air out and the truck
rode fine...... the guys who put on the tires put the air up to the max
on the tires.

Can't answer about the trailer tires, I'm still using D until I buy new
ones and will also be running Es....
