after going thru the cat weight scale with full tank and wife and me I had 5300 front 3500 rear with those numbers where should my daily driving air pressure be? LT275/70R18 Firestone are the tires I'm runing. door states 80/80
You'd need to look up a chart for your specific tire, but, in general yes. It shows the minimum pressure required to achieve a specific weight rating. But even at that, keep in mind it's a guideline not to maximize performance but to minimize court appearances. In other words, if you follow those pressures the tire manufacturer can produce supporting data to show that the tire will perform as advertised.
I would advise two additional verification points for your specific application: 1) chalk test. Draw heavy chalk across the tread and drive straight for a short distance. The chalk wear should be even across the tread. 2) check for heat. On a temperate day, drive at highway speeds for 30 minutes. Stop and check the tire temperature. Flex causes heat. Heat breaks down sidewalls. Broken sidewalls cause blowouts. At the end of the day, that's the biggest risk to avoid.
You can achieve better mileage with high pressures, but you sacrifice ride and traction (accel, turn, and brake). So while you may take your risk of blowout very low at 80, you've also compromised traction and therefore limited your ability to avoid an accident. There is no one-size-fits-all pressure. Its finding the right pressure for the mission. For offroad or snow/ice you'll want to come way, way down in pressure. A general rule is to use a piece of 1" tube steel. Place it on the ground across the tread. Roll on top and deflate to where the tire can touch either side. You'll probably be in the 15-20 PSIG range. I wouldn't go below 15 except in extreme conditions. If you're not used to aggressive airing down in the snow, you'll be amazed at what your truck can do.
Keep in mind, the 80/80 is for max load, max trailer so you'll need to have the ability to air up to support loads other than your measured situation. Stopping by Home Depot on the way home to pick up 1,500 lbs of concrete sacks? Those pressures will need to be adjusted. And also keep in mind all stated pressures are for cold tires. You'll need to add 3-5 PSI for tires that have been in use, depending upon the temperature of the day and speed of travel.
