Tire PSI
Is there anyone that has any real info on tire psi. I have talked with people I bought the tires from and looked on internet and still don't know the right answer . My sidewalls on truck and 5th wheel...

"If you run 110 psi tires at 85 psi they will run even hotter."
It all depends on the LOAD being applied to the tires!
OP load up and weigh each of your axles. Now look up the tire weight/inflation chart for your tires. On the RV add 5psi to your weights. Truck add 5psi rears and 10 Psi fronts.
If you want to use your God given brain do what I suggest otherwise blindly run 80 rear truck and wear out the center and 50 front will wear out the edges. RV at 110# depending on actual load if you only need 85 and run 110 your ride will be worse, stopping traction will be less and tire wear will be more.
I choose using the charts and my brain, it has served me well for over 1 million traveled miles with far better tire wear then the VAST majority.
