Default Tire air pressure

what is everyone running? I was told 110 in the front and 100 in the back is this correct?

Thanks,

Gary

I think somewhere in the range of 120-125PSI, I'm sure others will jump in here and if I'm wrong on the PSI someone please correct me.

You should weigh each axle and then use the Michelin chart for correct pressure,I don't go below 100 PSI on any tire and I have never had a problem,but you will need more than 100 on the steers.

Gary,

I don't know if you have ever been to the Newell factory, but they have a chart on the wall indicating the correct tire pressures for different tire sizes. In most cases these numbers will suffice. The only problem with this method is I may carry 10,000# of horse shoes in my front bay and you carry a zip lock bag of feathers!

Jack makes a good point, weigh each tire individually and then use the tire chart which will indicate the amount of air necessary to support that amount of weight. This way you know no matter what you carry inside your coach you have your tires inflated properly. If one side of the coach weighs 200# more than the other side - when reading the tire chart use the higher of the two and inflate both tires with that amount. Each side of that axle should have the same air pressure.

Important: Check your tire pressure everyday when traveling - your life depends on it!

There is a Plaque on our '82 just inside the door that has our VIN and the Tire Information. We have 11R22.5 Tires and the Plaque states 85 psi for the Front and for the Rear Tires. I know that other coaches use different Tires and Tire Pressures.
I have a Digital Tire Pressure Gauge that I bought when we were at Quartzsite. I use it on all of the tires every day while traveling, as Tuga suggests.

As posted above, it all depends on weight on each rear axle and each steer tire. My coach weights 51,000 fully loaded and I run 365s on the steer. Based on my weights, I carry 110 in the 365s steer tires, 110 on the rear 315 duals, and 100 on the tag tires. For me, I think this complies with Michelin chart and Newell recommendation.
