I don't run the maximum inflation pressure on my tires. In passenger cars, I tend to follow what the recommended pressures are as noted on the sticker just inside the door, and they might even be printed in the owner's manual. On my HD 2500 truck, I will run higher pressure when loaded and/or towing my trailer, and lesser when the truck is not loaded. I know when I run the pressure up to 55 psi, the truck rides rather rough. I think I have the tires running around 35 psi for typical driving without a load, and probably around 50 psi when pulling my trailer. On the tractors used in the field and going up and down the road for farm use, I have actual weights on the front and rear axle and the inflate to the appropriate pressure shown in the tire inflation charts based upon that actual weight. I run radial tires on the main tractors used for farming and I want to maximize the footprint for traction purposes and lessening compaction. On the other tractors that are not used much in the field, I pump the tires up to the point where they are not squatting. Implement tires are pumped up to the specifications in the owner's manual for the implement, which they do not squat or show any "cheekiness," for lack of better words.
