    Feathering. Not a tire pressure issue in my case. I drive it like my sports car. The gas and brake are on/ off switches.squeased on and off of course. So you either slow down on corners OR change the camber. Start with 1/4 neg camber each front wheel. On the car I run at least 1 full degree neg camber each wheel for even wear.

    Manufacturer recommended pressures are cold. After you begin driving, the tires do warm due to friction and may add another 2-6 psi when warm. However, I've wondered why the stock tires on my sidewall have a max inflation pressure of 51 psi (not bead seating pressure) and the door sticker states 30 psi front & rear. I just replaced my stock DUNLOP AT20 GRANDTREK at 55k miles. I normally run a couple psi higher, but am planning to keep these at 35 psi. Michelin website has great technical info for their tires with recommended psi for different payloads. It goes without saying, never let the cold pressure drop below the door sticker rating as this will lead to premature tire wear and increased fuel consumption.

    The maximum pressure on the sidewall is the maximum to which the tire should ever be inflated when in service--normally the tires on consumer cars and trucks are never inflated to that pressure. All you need is enough to get a nice flat contact patch. Beyond that you can add/lose a bit to tweak the ride, traction, etc.

    My truck came to me In October of 2016 with a new set of the AT20s, I've run them 5500 miles at the recommended 29 psi with no wear or ride issues...

    Most trucks will feather the front tires if left on the front to for to long without being rotated.
