My GMC truck has Michelin LTX's on her and the recommended pressure is
85PSI. But I run these at 55psi for the most part except when I need to
load her down. The 55psi was recommended by a number of tire installer
including the dealership. I would verify with an installer or maybe they
could give you the Michelin customer support number.
