Recommended Tire Pressure for a Classic
#4

Todd, make sure that you check the load range of the tires. My tires are Bridgestone 11R24.5 so based on the Tire Load Tables from Bridgestone, a Single tire that is load range G has a maximum inflation of 105 psi (6610 lbs load per tire or 13220 per axle) and a dual load range G has a maximum inflation of 105 psi at 6005 lbs load per tire or 24020 per drive axle. If they are load range H, the max inflation increases to 120 psi and the loads go up to 7160 per single tire and 6610 per tire in dually configuration. At the sticker recommended 95 psi, your front tires would carry 6095 lbs per tire and the rear axle would would support 5675 lbs for each of the four tires. Unless your axles are overloaded, the 95 psi would not give you much wiggle room (only a few hundred pounds) for side to side imbalance on the front axle fully loaded but would give you almost 2000 pounds excess capacity on the drive axle. Unless you are severely overloaded on the rear, I would think that the 95 psi rear pressure is reasonable. On the front, unless I was absolutely certain of the actual axle weight, I would want to carry 100-105 up there.
