Tie pressure???

Tie pressure???
I recently went to the tire shop to have them bump the pressure in my tires. The guy asked what it said for tire pressure inside the door. I said "I dont have stock tires", he said I am still supposed to run that pressure, "I said what does the tire pressure printed inside the door for the factory tires have to do with the custom tires and rims I have on", he said it wont handle right and the tires will wear uneavenly, I assured him how full of crap he was and that only a college boy would think that way. Whats your opinion on this?

well when i worked at discount tire in high school we always ran 60 lbs in 3/4 and 1 ton trucks it gave the customer the better ride and it also allowed for heavy trailers to be towed with no worries and i been running 60 ever since then and i have always had 3/4 ton diesel trucks since high school

I went to Discount the other day to have mine balanced, they put 50# up front and 70# in the rear AFTER I told them to put 65# all the way around cause thats what works for me in my particular setup. They tried to "explain" to me about the door decal and I "explained" to them that I didn't give a rats rear and that they had it backwards to boot.

Yeah but there are tires rated at 50lbs. and others rated at 80 and some rated at 90, then what?
your right about that but when i sold tires and worked there i would never sell nor recommend anything less than a load range e tire and those take 80 as the MAX PSI the only time i would run max psi is when you are going to be towing heavy i mean heavy but i seriously would never trust anything less than a load range e with the weight of these trucks seen too many tires bubble with load range d on a 3/4 ton truck

for some reason after i left they have started going off the what the door says dont ask me why but thats the "in thing" to tell everyone i still run 60 and will always thats just my 2 cents and i swear i get the best ride like that
