Manufacturer specs. are for tire ride, and generally for the OEM tires ONLY. An 80 PSI tire needs to be run at a high pressure to prevent sidewall flexing and heat, and premature wear, it's designed to even out the tread at 70-80 PSI, less will wear the edges prematurely, more will wear the middle prematurely. it also varies base on vehicle weight etc. being that we are driving 30+ yr old trucks originally equipped with bias ply tires, any factory specs are POINTLESS as we run entirely different tire technology now. So why don't you stop your bashing without the proof to back anything up, and quietly leave this thread/board if you have nothing positive to contribute.
