When weighing the set up I found that only 40# was transfered to the front axle so I keep the front pressure about the same, maybe a pound or two more. Others have found that no weight is transfered to the front when the fifth wheel is loaded. Keeping the front pressures lower was the key for me to get about the same handling as the old Pmetric tires. Good luck.
Interesting...............Thanks for sharing.

I've always run the fronts higher when towing, but maybe next trip i'll try your approach.
