Maxiis tire pressure
I have Maxiis radial M8008 load range D tires on our fifth wheel. The Rv loaded weighs around 8500 lb. Does anyone know what the psi should be?

But if you over inflate the tires they will wear prematurely in the middle and wear out sooner. I took my trailer to the scales and found out how much weight is riding only on the tires and use that to figure the PSI (13,025 in my case). I can then figure the weight and PSI when I put toys in the garage and adjust the tire pressure accordingly.
When was the last time an RV tire "wore out", that wasn't from having bad axles/hubs? I've run my E-rated tires at 80 and 70, and there's almost zero difference in "contact patch" at the same weight. I can't tell any difference in ride, either. Unless I were completely empty, and making a multi-thousand mile trip, I'd just keep 'em at max psi and not worry about it.
