Just wondering if anyone on here is running this tire? I just had a set of (6) 245/70r 19.5's put on my 2000 36' Itasca Suncruiser and was wondering what everyone was running for tire pressure? I h...

Ambient temp. has nothing to do with cold psi ratings and the extra cushion I recommended, should take care of these changes along with other variables one will encounter.
True, but, let me state it slightly differently: Tire pressure is set at the current ambient temperature before driving the coach.
It is NOT based on a particular ambient temperature.
Example: We often drive from South Texas in the summer to Angel Fire, NM.
So it is 95+ degrees when we leave. Set PSI before we leave. BUT, when in the Angel Fire area (8,000'+) we often have to ADD AIR, as we often drive early in the morning when we stay there. The low in Angel Fire tonight is 28 degrees F: https://www.wunderground.com/weather/us/nm/angel-fire
And why I said in my original post, to add 10 - 15psi for taking care of all the variables, with changes in ambient temp. being one of them.
Those that insist on being exact about it, evidently air up and down on an ongoing basis during their travels.
