50 psi tire pressure? I don't yet have a Lightning, but I'm wondering how the ride is at that high of a pressure, as I'm assuming the door decal pressure is probably under 40 psi.

Also, does that high pressure encourage more wear in the middle tread as it's close to be overinflated?

These are trucks, not cars. Each tire needs to be capable of supporting a ton.

Smoothest riding pickup I have ever driven.

Door sticker should say 42psi. My factory 20" tire was max 51psi so the rims should be able to handle it.
LT rated tires, which the op has but didn't mention can go as high as 80psi in some cases but the rim has to also be able to handle it.

In general, you always want even wear on your tires, more weight = higher pressure to maintain tire shape. You are correct though, centre tread wear is indicative of overinflation.

How do you like the KO3s? Great, meaty-looking tire.

Absolutely Love them, even in 14 inch deep snow, crazy good, not cheap though and much better than the K02s were.

Fun Fact the BFG KO tires are Winter rated as indicated by the three peak and snowflake symbol on the side wall. Thererfore you wont need to buy a seperate set of winter tires if you live in an area that gets lots of snow in the winter, or in Canadian provinces or US states that mandate the use of winter tires .
