I'd feel a lot safer running a E rated LT tire at 45 psi as opposed to 35 psi. I always ran 42 to 45 psi on the LT tires I had in the past with no problems. That was for daily driving...any towing or hauling I would add air accordingly.

Just bought a set of Cooper Discovery AT3's (275/70/18 E rated). After I got home I thought they looked a little soft. I checked the PSI and they were all at 35. This after drving at highway speeds for a couple hours. I thought that was a little low for an E rated tire. I have run E rated before and never had them lower then 45psi. I called Discount Tire where I just bought them and the salesman told me that the truck called for 35psi and it doesn't matter what the rating is. This dosen't sound right to me. Any opinions?

I just yesterday bought a set of Cooper AT3Lt 265/70/17 121s E. The sticker says 245/75/17 121s E with 55front 60rear but Discount put them at 36f 38r. They reset or relearned the tpms but 50’ down the drive it showed a low tire. Just put them to 50f 55b to see if light goes off. These tires are ECE certified too. Are all tires ECE and DOT certified now?

Those certs are usually rubbish. Just like UL and EU certs on consumer electronics.
If a company has enough money, they can pay for those labels and built junk products that will burn your house down.
I don't pay any attention to them anymore. If something looks sketchy, I usually pass on it OR I buy it and make it right (add fuses, etc).
Same thing with tires. I do some research even if it's cheap tires. See if folks have issues with the belts or random blowouts.

Most name brands that you have heard of, are safe for the most part.
What I worry about are those low price tires with brand names you've never heard of. Allegedly, the Chinese are flooding the market with cheap tires, and some are not safe.
Yet, I just put a set of low cost tires on my truck. I'm still alive. Didn't get killed yet. But that could still happen.
