Michelin LT 225/75r16.....your opinion?
Hey all, I am sure this has been posted somewhere before but I just purchased a 2015 32 foot Thor Chateau model 31E in September. It has 3000 miles on it and comes equipped with the michelin lt225/75r...

That 223" number is my first piece of good RV news in 2016! That should put good weight on your front end and keep the rear out of overload.
Our 31-ft has 218-in WB with weights 4600 Front (65-PSI) and 9250 Rear (75-PSI).
Till you get actual weights, my pressure suggestions for you are:
FRONT: 70-75 PSI
REAR: 75-80 PSI
Those get you right to the max axle ratings. Notice that the tire is rated to carry a little more in Single than in Dual.
Do not run the Front at any more pressure than weight calls for. The contact patch with the road gets smaller with excess pressure and that compromises tracking on the road.
