    My Dr calls that “skinny fat”.

    Just had all my blood work done and on paper I’m 20yrs old.

    But in reality, add 30 more yrs to that number.

    I run max, can’t say honestly I’ve ever made a comparison of how they last at different pressures.

    I forgot to post a picture yesterday of the partially dismantled machine, the tracks are coming off when we load it.

    Your tire philosophy

    I would suggest going to tire manufacturers load/vs psi chart.

    But I run 95psi in steers, and 90psi in drives and trailers. I have done fleet comparisons. The high psi may yield a slight increase in mpg. It does not offset accelerated wear brought on by high psi. Dont forget how many miles your empty too.

    I guess I should add that I run a 15” wide steer tire and it calls for 130. And all the rest call for 120

    Mine was good too. But my doc is no poster boy of fitness either. We get along well.
