What does the sidewall say is the maximum pressure they can handle?

If they are 65-80psi tires, then that will probably work.

If they are 50psi tires, then no.

I run 50 psi in my nittos and they are wearing very nicely. They also ride pretty good at 50 psi. I've gotten at least 35k out of them and I've got maybe another 5-10k left.

They are 10 ply, load range E and the sidewall reads max of 65psi. I had Firestone Steeltex's 265X?X16 load range E, max of 80psi on when I first got it used to run 65 f 55 r and it rode fine. The Cooper 305X70X16 I just took off were load range D, max 50psi and I used to go 45-50f and 35-40 rear. They were a 50k tire and lasted 46k.

I'm looking for comfort and longivity so appreciate the replies.

Thanks for the replies I guess I'll stat @ 60 f and drop down a bit to 45 in the rears and do the chalk mark on the tread test to see where the road meets the tire.
