A number of you responded a few months ago to the following question and I've tried to pull the topic back up but been unable to locate it. So, please allow me to restate the issue: Based on weights, I need to run close to 90psi. But, if I air up to 90 cold, a few miles down the hot Florida roads, psi increases to 100 to 105. At that increased psi, steering becomes difficult...wandering. Now..question...is there any reason I cannot (or should not) air up to say 80 psi cold knowing within a few miles the psi will be right where I need to be at 90 psi? I recall that when I posted earlier, some comments were pro and some con regarding doing this. I can't recall what the consensus was and would like for you to weigh in again. Thanks!
All pressure specs. are cold psi, period and if you're right on at 90 according to the axle weights, your handling issues are for another topic. In fact, you should be adding 10 - 15psi for a cushion of sorts and for all the variables.
Having said this, it sounds pretty high to me for a 2005 33' Itasca on a 2004 Ford F53 chassis. Are these the 19.5" or 22.5" wheels?
