If a truck is carrying 20% more weight than it was spec'd for,how much should tire pressures be increased to compensate?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Over-inflation does not compensate for overloads. Tire pressures should be set according to the manufacturer's specifications for the load they are designed to carry. Overloading a vehicle and then adjusting tire pressures to compensate can lead to tire failure and does not address the safety issues associated with carrying more weight than the vehicle was designed for.
