Car tyres, deflate or not?

Being fairly new to towing an Eriba my car manual says to inflate the rear tyres to full load pressure, but does anyone deflate the tyres to normal pressure in between towing trips?

It depends how long it is between towing trips. If you run them at the higher pressure with a normal load for too long, they'll begin to wear more in the tread centres.

And rattle your fillings, probably.

Yes, I return to normal pressure if I am on site for more than 7 days and always between trips.

Hi
I always return the tyre pressures to those recommended by the manufacturer for solo running.
Then there's that old problem of how good is your tyre gauge.
Best regards

Just be aware some vehicles have towing pressures as well as full load pressure. Some are similar but some cars are hugely different + if possible check tyre pressures when they're cold
