   Sorry, I have D rated tires at 65 psi.  Also underinflated tires heat more.  Under inflating tires at the cold point does NOT prevent heat, it aids it.  Best to look at your tire rating and inflate to the cold pressure rating, when the tires are cold, which means for most of us, before you begin the trip.

	Running any tire at less than rated pressure allows the side walls to flex more the a they should ...... This weakens the tire and can lead to premature failure. You are safer doing what the specs say to do!
