Theye are usually inflated to 60 psi to refflect that fact in order to give adequate load rating and are also subject to a 56 mph limit..

You will need a commercial tyre guage to measure 60 psi as most car ones only go to 50 and I would not rely on the pressure guage on a portable plug into the car compressor as I find they very hit and miss regarding accuracy
