Air pressure jumping in front tires
I have a Freightliner Tag with 22.5 tires. I set rear tires at 85-88lbs and fronts at 117lbs. After driving rears jump up to 98-105. The fronts will hit 143-147. The fronts are within 1-3 lbs of ea...

I would not think its temp. My alarm is set at 100 degrees and never went off.. As for over loading how would you do that? Same stuff I had in last RV.
Thanks
100 degrees is way to low for tires. I am guessing that you are set at 100 degrees CENTIGRADE, not Fahrenheit.
The only way to tell is to have the front axle weighed with everything loaded, all tanks filled as you travel, and all passengers in their seats.
My tires often don't go over 100 degrees. If it was Centigrade 100 degrees would be 212 degrees Fahrenheit. That would be an issue.
Mr. USA, I think you might need a new thermometer. Do you really think your tires don't over 100 degrees if you are driving anywhere in the summer?
I have had temp sensors on both coaches (not long on the first as the TST system was junk).... but, the new coach has a built-in system that is quite accurate.
I use my 'laser gun' to shoot the hubs, etc. Summer days in the south are hot even if the coach is sitting still.

Mark,
As I told him, his TPMS is not set right OR, he may have his sensors mounted on long extended valves that put the sensors out in the air flow and do not read the actual tire temperature. When we travel during the Summer months, I have had tire temps on the sunny side of the coach exceeding 100 degrees before I even started driving for the day.
If you touch one of your tires with your hand, and it feels warm to the touch(sometimes hot), then your tire temperature is over 100 degrees, keeping in mind that your body temp is 98.6 degrees.
