Tire Pressure Alarm Setting

What do you all set for the tire high pressure alarm? I returned from the shop the other day and my alarm went of at 122psi on the 5er, temp was ok at 96F. Riding normal pressure is 110psi for max load. Thinking about raising alarm to 137psi (25%). Thanks.

You didn't say what your CIP was but +25% is OK especially if you check the high temp number and it is in line across all tires. I did a post on my blog last month just on TPMS settings.

CIP

CIP is 110psi to handle max load for truck and trailer (G rated trailer tires). Thanks for the info, and Great Blog thanks for the site, some good reading there.
I ran down the highway for 20 minutes today at 70mph and never exceeded 122 psi or 100 degrees F on a 110 CIP. I think its good to go.
