Just remember that it's the air pressure that handles your load capacity. Any Load Range E or higher tire will ride very stiff no matter what.
I think I'm going to try 60psi in the front also when empty to see if it makes the same kind of difference. They're currently at 70psi.
I should have taken my non-contact thermometer with me so I could monitor tire temperature. I was checking with my hands and the 60psi duals did not seem any warmer than normal.
Some people are putting super singles on Fuso FG's when they turn them into campers. Any opinion as a tire guy on the advantages/disadvantages.
