I have always kept my truck tires at 35 psi.

It also depends on a couple of other factors:

1. Is it a multi-ply tire? I run my BFG A/Ts at 35 psi where I used to run my BFG Rugged Terrains at 40. If you run a high-ply tire at a higher pressure you will get more axle jump over bumps and you don't want that when you're going down the highway at 80mph.

2. Keep in mind that your tires will increase by 1-4 psi once they reach operating temperature. Increases in temperature cause increases in pressure.

I run Michelins on my 2015 Platinum at 37-38 psi and my max is also 44. Gets 20 to 20.5. My individual low tire indicators work fine. Did the 14 and lower just not have it?

Temp affects tire psi. You can have 35psi on a 90 degree day and cold front push thru and have 29psi at 41 degrees. Happened to me this past weekends front.
