What is the best looking and best performing 3 peak rated tire?

So when do YOU set your cold readings? These are my ambient temp swings over the next 2 days.

If you park outside check it in the morning before the sun heats 1/2 of them up.

If you're inside check them before you drive. Cold pressure readings can be taken 3 hours after you park out of the sun.
 
Those tires have a LI of 129 at 65psi, so you can probably air down more.

40 psi is good for 2915lbs/tire, which is nearly FAWR on a 6.7 and not needed on a Hemi.

45 psi would give you air for 3,150/tire
35 psi would give you air for 2,680/tire
30 psi would give you air for 2,395/tire
25 psi would give you air for 2,095/tire

In a mostly empty hemi you’re probably good to run 30/25 around town and light highway driving.
I know I need to learn more and pay attention to this. But I don't know that I'll ever get comfortable running pressures that low in E rated tires. Not arguing with your knowledge, like I said I'm the one that needs to learn, just hard to break decades old habits I guess.

Weigh your truck, find a good load/inflation chart, and give it a try. You may set off your TPMS thou. Tire size is just as important as weight when it comes to the proper pressure.

I routinely run my 3500 at 55/35, and have since I bought my first HD truck in 2007.

My TJ only gets 14-15 psi in the winter, and 18 psi in the summer unless I load it up for camping.

I have found this chart to be pretty complete and use it 99% of the time, regardless of the tire manufacturer.
