    Not sure where something like this should be put, so... here it is.

    Not looking for a debate about Chinese tires... I'm well aware of the potential risks. What I am looking for is some input on tire pressures.

    Looking at the charts and calculators, Yokohama's and Michelin's can run as low as 80 psi. Many people on here have commented about running that low, and for each person commenting about running lower pressures, there was someone commenting about how they would never do it.

    I was about to buy 85 psi crossfires, but called my tire dealer first... When I asked him what pressures I should run, he said if I'm running light, run 100 psi... medium run 105... legal/heavy run 110... (Max pressure is 110) When I told him I had been planning on running 85 psi, his response, "Oh God no! You will get too much sidewall flex, and you will wreck them fast!"

    So now, I'm planning on 105 psi... But I'm curious about folks that have run the Aeolus HN308. What pressure have you run?

    Thanks!

    I have had many of them on heavy dump trucks and over the road tractors. I have always kept mine at max pressure. Its not because it is better, I just do. I have never had a problem with them. The tire always outlasted the tread.

    I use those tires for the last 4 years. I run car carriers and Keep pressure @ 110. Haven't had any problems with them besides the rubber wearing down fast than a Michelin and they don't hold pressure as well. They lose about 2-3 psi per week so check your pressure regularly.
