Proper Radial tire usage

There has been quite a bit of talk about Radial tires lately and it seems that some don't fully understand how to correctly use them. And I am not trying to be a jerk, just trying to inform so you get the most use out of the technology.

First thing is don't use fluid in them add cast weight ask your supplier... Although I think I did read somewhere if you had to get more weight only fill 1/4 full but this is a last resort.
Second thing is you have to know the axle load to determine the pressure you need to run. 18 psi is too much unless you are running small singles on a heavy tractor. There are charts that tell you what to run. If you put on duals lower the pressure if you add a mounted implement you may have to raise the pressure. Otherwise you are wasting money and the available gains from the radials.
