You don't need to run with that much pressure. What load range are they? I run my Cooper LTZ's at 35psi. Also, Nitrogen is pretty much a gimmick. The only thing it may do is help on moisture, but nitrogen still contracts/expands at diff. temps.
My friend had those tires on his 2500 and they were E load range. He ran his at 60psi. He complained about the noise but he said they handled great??? His were worn down over half way within 15kmi. He did use that truck for plowing. Not sure if that makes any difference. They have an awesome tread pattern to them! I do like the way they look, but if they are E-range tires, there's nothing you can do to ake them a "softer" feel

yea, you have a lot of factors contributing to a harsher ride, the 65 lbs. is crazy high, Nitrogen is more dense than oxygen, and a "E" load range tire that is only 33" tall mounted on 20" wheels doesn't allow much room to "flex"...

How?
Even if it's more dense as someone said, your measuring the PSI (pounds per square inch)
In that case, you would simply need less Nitrogen compared to Oxygen to fill up the tire. 65psi is 65psi whether you fill it up with nitrogen,oxygen or helium! it's going to be the same.
Just so everyone knows....Air that we all breathe and fill our air compressors up with is only 1/5th Oxygen 4/5ths Nitrogen.
Ha! Now that should be on "Are you smarter than a 5th grader"....lol
Pure nitrogen that is in those green stations that they charge all that extra money for, is only an extra 1/5th nitrogen in place of the 1/5th filtered out air....lmfao

What ever you say buddy, and let me guess it doesnt hold pressure either?
