I just put on a set of Hercules H-902 full steel belted onto my fifth wheel. Haven't used them long, but so far they drive quite nice. I do have a question though... Does anyone know how to calculate an optimal inflation rate to match the tire load??
I'd say to just weigh your rig fully loaded and as it's normally equipped for travel, which would be hitched to your truck. Then use most any set of inflation tables and add 10-15psi for all the variables.
The total weight should be divided by the number of wheels for coming to some kind of a figure on each individual tire and then use the single chart value, since you don't have any duals.
