Tire pressure

[Rustymayes]

What tire temps do you guys see at your pressures? I run 95 in the rear and 115 cold in the front and I occasionally see 130 + on the inside drive tires. Of course the TPMS is constantly warning of high temps and pressures. I have yet to do a four corner weigh but I know we are going to be light as we really only weekend it the coach and have very little gear on board. I bet if I weighed every thing but water and fuel I would be under 500lbs of personal gear. I need to see if I can find my build sheet and see where my start point was. I can WAG a figure to add for gear pretty easily.

I run at max psi. Several reasons.
1. Tires run cooler; less friction.
2. Tires last longer; less friction.
3. Less chance of hydroplaning; tread is open up more and less flatness of the tire.
4. Less stress on the side walls when weighted down.
5. Less chance of sidewall blowout if tire hits bad pothole or something.
6. Better fuel economy. Not much of a reason on an RV, but it helps

Yes it does ride a little harder, but I drive slower to compensate.
