Tire Inflation Question

[merle&louise]

Lee,

How much psi does Newmar recommend? Give them the actual weights of each axle and see what pressures they recommend?

Excess air pressure = rough ride, not smooth!

I think I mentioned this before, but when I had new Michelins installed on my tag and my drives @ Prevost, they inflated all to 120lbs. My 365's up front are at 110 lbs. I really don't feel much difference in the ride but I'm not in the back.

I had my coach weighed last week; each wheel separately. Full fuel and water & gear without passengers. The Goodyear rep @ Sevierville told us to use the higher of the two weights per axle to use the charts.

Front: P/S 8320 D/S 8410
Drive: P/S 11760 D/S 11450
Tag: P/S 4660 D/S 5310

My tire chart shows: Front @ 8410 I should run 125
Drive @ 11760 I should run 105
Tag @ 5310 I should run 80

Newell recommends: Front 130 Drive 110 Tag 80

I am going to continue running the additional 5# per tire to cover the weight of the beer on board for LSU games.

Last night was not fun

Tuga,

That seems like a lot of weight on the front axle. What's the front axle weight rating on your coach?

I think mine is rated at 16,500 lbs and my actual weight was 15,450 lbs last time it was weighed.

[merle&louise]

The front axle is rated at 17,640# and the actual weight is 16,730 for a CCC of 910#. Not bad for a coach with 2 slides
