Generally 120 steers, 100 drives, 100 trailer.
Some prefer 110 drives.Long FLD, bad-luck, farmerjohn64 and 1 other person Thank this. -

Technically, the COLD psi printed on the sidewall is the maximum you should have in it while the tire is cold, say, has not been driven for over 4 hours and has been away from direct sunlight preferably. If you have a standard 110 COLD steer tire, you can use 100 to 110 psi cold. Go with 110 cold if you haul heavy most of the time. Go with 100 if you haul mostly light loads. Otherwise, you might experience over-inflation tire wear.Last edited: Jul 1, 2020

Check your tire guage, most of them are not calibrated well if at all. It will give you a decent "ball park" reading though.

Or conversely it means the minimum pressure for a given load on the tire.
The absolute maximum pressure is stamped on the rim. The tires can handle way more pressure before the rim folds over.HillbillyDeluxeTruck and farmerjohn64 Thank this. -
