Since you got a P-rated tire at OEM size, i would keep it at OEM pressure recommendations.

Mike -
I did notice when picking up my tires and loading them in the truck, they felt heavier.
As for looks, I have mine mounted with the outlined letters facing in. I like the subtle look.
They appear to be "taller", less rounded in the sidewall. I think they have a recess where mounted to the rim (LTD 16") At first glance they appear to look like old style snow tires. LOL.
In terms of ride, only driven 10 miles. Ride is a bit firmer (good).
The tire noise is definitely there where the flops were silent. No complaints.
While a lot of work trying to find them in stock, and expensive (~$900 for 5). It is a wise long term investment. With the low annual mileage I put on the truck, these tires will last me 10 years.
Will post a photo or two in the next day or so.

Yea, I also noticed the road noise yesterday for the first time. It is hardly noticeable though. I really love the tires so far. I will be posting pics on Saturday. They are good looking tires aren't they?
