Replacing tires on our 79 Newell 38 foot 2 axle. The weight placard says 12000 max front and 18500 max rear - total 30500lbs. We weighed the coach and it was right at 11000 front and 17000 rear in operating config. All the old tires are load range G. No problem on the rear - but the max weight for Michelin load range G single axle (front) is 12350lbs at 105PSI.
Most trucks use load range G with 12000 lbs on front axle. Question - Is that enough cushion? or should I consider load range H or J for the front?
Thanks in advance.
