    Well, my numbers work well for me. I’ve aired down lower for sandy spots but with the E class rated tires I find the street mileage....often in excess of posted speeds....is considerably improved (15-16 with a RTT and topper loaded out) and the sidewall profile to be just right for my typical payload and driving style at the higher psi’s. With a c rated tire your numbers would be more what I would be running too.
