Truck tire load & inflation
Pick the size, mounting and axle weight. You get the minimum cold pressure from the load & inflation table.
How to use the table
- Weigh each axle loaded (a CAT scale ticket works). Divide by the number of tires on that axle.
- The pressure shown is the minimum cold pressure for that load. Check it cold, before driving.
- Never go above the maximum pressure and load molded on the sidewall or the rim's rating.
- Dual tires carry less each than a single at the same pressure, because the pair shares load unevenly on crowned roads.
