So our camper van, Jean Claude damn van, is an e250. It has lt245 dynapro hankook tires. I think spec is 80psi, according to the door. This van doesn't carry much weight at all, just a mattress and out gear basically. Nothing like the weight the van carried when it was still a working van. Can I air these tires down to gain some comfort and compliance?  The e250 is stiff when basically empty. Even with my tw200 bike hung off the back bumper it doesn't ride any different. Anyone have any expertise?

The Suburban 2500 I have access to runs the same size tire and IIRC the same max pressure. When it was empty, but still very heavy, I definitely ran lower pressures. I believe it was in the 50 to 65 range,  I'm not sure on exactly what the number was.
