Jay, the truck i drive at work has 6 tires that must
be inflated to 110 PSI cold in order for it to be able
to carry heavy loads up to 65,000 pounds GVW. When the
truck's tires are under inflated the truck wobbles
dangerously especially when loaded down, also blowouts
can occur. This is the reason I am using 65PSI truck
tires on my van becouse the westy weighs around
4500Lbs and i think thats too heavy to run passenger
tires which usually have max rating of 35-40PSI. Also,
the Yokohamas when inflated to 65psi reduce sway and
they also have thick sidewalls. Again, the ride is
very harsh when inflated to the max, so i deflate the
tires to around 45 PSI for city driving.

THe tires that I am using are:Yokohama "Super Van 356"
185R14 8PR LT Steel belted radials, load range-D
