Determining Tire Pressure
I have read that you should not pay much attention to the inflation psi marked on the tires, but rather go by the vehicle recommendation printed on the door edge. In other information I have found ch...

Ok, I think I have this figured out. Today I got the GVW=11,500 : GAWF=4,200 : GAWR=7,700. The tires are rated for higher than any of those so I know if I follow GW, I won't be stressing the tires if inflated properly. Recommended psi by the RV manf. is 58psi on the steers and 62psi on the drives. The door sticker actually confirmed that the tires that are on it are exactly the same as OEM. Goodyear's chart confirms the psi based on the previous data. Then I weighed in with a full fuel tank, full LP tank, leveling gear and the supplies that will stay in the RV all the time. I consider this my "empty" weight. It weighed in at 3,500 on the steer axel and 7,280 on the drive axel: 10,780 total. So it would seem to me to start off with the recommended psi as shown on the door sticker and stow any additional gear as far to the rear as possible. Agree?
