I do agree with contact patch, but what I don't agree with, is the wear pattern on these LT tires. I run 75 PSI in the rear, year round, (I never know when I'm gonna be hauling weight), and my tires are wearing perfectly in the rear. The fronts are at 47PSI, and they too are wearing perfectly. I do find on wet pavement that it tends to break loose (no load) if I'm not careful, but keeps my driving skills in tune! ha ha Tire manufactuers put ratings on them for a reason. I would not hesitate to keep a tire near 80 PSI, for any amount of time. The only thing you will gain by lowering the pressure, is some contact patch, a little smoother ride, and a pain in the butt to put them back to 80 when the time comes. JMHO tho..
