Excuse me if this has been hashed and re-hashed, but I can't find it. My boss and I were just discussing the recommended tire inflation on pickups. Both of us had noticed that our diesel pickups (his 2003 Dodge 4WD, my 95 Chevy 2WD) recommended much higher pressure in the rear tires than the front. Since Diesel engines ain't exactly "light" neither of us thought this made much sense on a truck that runs probably 90% of the time with no load on it. It seems to me that it makes for more "bounce" and less traction that way.
Can anyone explain this?
