110 PSI Air While on the Road

So is it okay if your trailer came with a rated 80 psi tires to put G-rated and only run 80 psi my rims are rated for 110 PSI the G rated 110 PSI tires would be running 30 PSI under recommended pressure that does not sound right to me

You said it SO much better than I did.
Thanks. :C

110 is the MAX inflation! If your RV came with "G" tires most like it warranted 110psi based on load. If upsizing from E to G or G to H then inflation should be based on load. Per GY tech support when up sizing use the weight/inflation chart and add 5psi to what the chart dictates.

They said this will give better ride, better stopping power and better tire wear.

So don't blindly air to MAX if up sizing.

You should be focusing on NOT doing something that will potentially be dangerous to you and others on the road.

You should NOT put 110 psi in your tires just because you CAN.
As mentioned, many RVs intended to use 80 have rims that are not designed to go to 110......and doing so can be dangerous.

There is no debate about that.

If you need the higher rated tires because of added weight AND you have the proper rims to do that, just say so and we can move on.

The cold inflation pressure for the G14 is 110. I prefer to listen to the manufacturer. I have had three sets of these ALWAYS at the suggested cold inflation pressure with no problems.

X2 correct

I like them less and less. They were always QUALITY, now you have to be real careful since they are trying to compete with the Chicom auto parts suppliers.

I carry a small CO2 tank with regulator and hose takes less room than a compressor that takes forever to get to the higher PSI's and I am able to get the 110 psi with no problem, only use it on the road if I need to adjust tire pressure . I made my own set up but take a look at Power Tank brand you will get the idea. Off road guys use these tanks to air their tires back up after rock climbing or running off road

No need to put on "airs" - go CO2 !!

Congrats on an xlnt and simple solution to the various 12V and/or 110V compressors!..:C

Ditto on making your own (easy!) and new aluminum CO2 tanks are available at reasonable prices from beverage companies.

Re-fill at any home brew stores, paint ball, and of course welding supply.

Carry one in my truck, one in the trailer.
(Yeah - several compressors at home)

Off-roaders have been using 'em for years - air down for off-road, then re-inflate via CO2 to higher pressure for the asphalt.
The sources for the regulator (etc.) are avail on lots of off-road sites.

Carry one for (in) my truck, one for (in) the trailer.

"Power Tank" is a good place to look at what is available - the how, why, uses, etc. (But they *are* pricey if purchased from them)...;)

BTW - to the newbie poster who says he will stop here and there & slip somebody $5. to check his air pressure........
Spend the $5. on a gauge, check it yourself whenever you stop....
and better yet get a TPMS and read air pressure going down the road, as well as being alerted to a tire losing air *BEFORE* you stop for your ap checks!

Flats and/or a blowout can/will ruin your day!

I am to old to crawl around. For a couple of bucks I let George do it.

And Amazon will have all the different Milton items available. Milton has several different heads available and the gages have different PSI ranges. The NAPA store may only have one gage. I DO like NAPA stores.

Keep in mind that once set at home before you leave on a trip, tire pressure doesn't change much over the course of several months. If you're just taking occasional trips or one long summer trip, I wouldn't bother carrying a compressor. Check them at home before you leave. If you develop a tire problem that causes pressure to drop, having an air compressor along won't help.

Thanks for the heads up on the Milton gauges. I have been looking for a quality tire pressure gauge, but can't seem to find them here. I'll shop on Amazon for that brand.

Your local NAPA store will have them.

Possibly, and most likely at 2X the price.
