Next time you run past a closed scale house run across the scales and weigh each axle.... and adjust the tire pressure on each axle based on that weight... for me... 50 psi on a LT tire wouldn't be enough....

My dolly had 12" ST tires and the sidewall pressure was 80 PSI. That's what I used to set them to. Tireman9, a retired tire design and forensics engineer, usually recommends setting to the sidewall pressure for non-motorhomes, I believe.

Good advice. I used to do that when I used a dolly.
And yeah, I optioned for a spare dolly wheel and tire for the same reasons. I never had to use them before I switched to flat towing but I actually am OK with that.
