Just as a side note. Just making sure you’re on the same page. “Factory” pressures are printed on the drivers door jamb, and for a 2019+ 2500 should be around 65psi in all 4 tires which is what’s designated for your factory towing/hauling capabilities.
The 80psi listed on the tire sidewalk is Firestone’s max psi rating for that tire design.
All trucks are delivered to the dealers with 80psi+ in their tires, as thats how they leave the factory. I’ve been told it’s for shipment stability during tie down, and other various reasons.
It’s up to the dealership as part of their check list when receiving these trucks to return them to oem specification before they hit the lot. I have yet to find a truck to test drive that didn’t still have 80psi in the tires. So the guys responsible for receiving the trucks at the dealer are either too lazy to adjust air pressures OR don’t read their paperwork before they pencil whipped it that ask them to verify tire pressures OR they don’t think they get paid enough to care.
I think it’s a pretty easy way to lose a sale by letting anyone that is on the fence about an hd truck drive one with 80psi in the tires. But, what do I know, I’m just a dumb consumer......
