Ram 4500 with Artic Fox 1150 tire pressure question

Ok guys I just bought a Ram 4500 for my Artic Fox 1150. It handles great, not near as much sway as my GMC 3500 drw.
My problem, the front 19.5 tires seem to follow the highway groves and kind of wander. It is not real bad but keeps you on your toes.
I have had recently done an alignment and had to replace some front end parts.
The tires are new Conti Hybrid HD3 in a 225 70 r 19.5 load range D.
I am running 95 psi front and rear.
Would letting the air out on the fronts to 80psi help with driveability?

How many miles on the new tires? IIRC it takes about 3-5k miles for 19.5 tires to break in. Until then it is normal for then to float or wander.

Weigh your rig and look up the tire manufacturer's load inflation table. I highly doubt you need anywhere close to that much air in them.

Feel free to try that.

If it's not too bad, let those fresh tires get 10k miles before making alignment changes. And I think you meant load range F.
