What psi

I just got new nitto terra grapplers on my truck and there load range E. Max psi is 80 and that is whats in them now. The truck feels light in the front like if you move the steering wheel a little it feels like its swaying or floating. Is there too much air pressure up front?
Thanks

My door shows 60 in front and 80 in rear, although I only run about 45psi in all of them when unloaded.

unless your towing or have alot of weight in your bed then putting 80 psi is too much in the front....i keep 50-60psi in my wheels when empty and when i loaded i go up to 80psi...these are bfgoodrich all terrain but its the same concept

just run the 60 in the front, you are in control of the pressure, if you dont like it go up from there until you find what you like
