Smile Re: Dually tire pressure

Rory; I'm running 235/85/r17 tires on my truck.Iwas running firestone transformer tires on it that were on the truck when I bought it. They only lasted about 35,000 mi. before the center tread was almost gone. In defense of these tires though I was pulling a 16000 lb stacker that had about 2000 lbs of tongue weight on it.It pulled the trailer well except when I let the air pressure down to 60 to try and make the center of tires to last longer. I've since sold the stacker and now have a single car trailer that will weight 10,000 lbs fully loaded. I.m going to move car around to get about 1200lbs of tongue weight on it.I just bought some new Michlein tires for the truck and I probably will run 70 to 75 lbs in them . I just hope the new tires don't wear as fast as the old ones. Thanks for replies Bill.
