For those running tubeless 215/85/16 on factory rims on a 53 3100, what is your tire pressure. Mine are 10 ply which is all I could find in that size and are rated to about 80 psi. Would 50 or 60 be enough.

With no load, try starting with 40-45 psi. If the handling seems a little squirrely, bump the pressure up by about 5 psi and recheck.
