Default Re: Nitto Terra E-Rated and Towing 5er

When I first had the tires installed, they had the pressure at 65 psi all around, and that was dangerous. When I went around a bend in the road (at the usual speed), my VCS kicked on and I felt out of control. This was the same feeling on the freeway changing lanes. Any other comments or suggestions are welcome.
I would have the same VCS issue when i first put my tires on and it was due to having 65lbs in the rear tires. I dropped it down to 55 and it was better, i do run 65 rear and 60 front when towing. I dont think i have any need for 80lbs as i will not come close to the tires load rating.
