Simple answer, lg212.
Weigh each axle of the MH.
Go to the tire manufacturer's website.
Find their pressure/load chart and apply the recommended pressure.
You are safe increasing that pressure up to 10% above recommendation, but don't,
as someone indicated, "just inflate to the max indicated on the sidewall" Bad advice.
Also, have the tires checked annually after 5 years from manufacture date, but don't just automatically replace at 5-7 years. You will not find a single tire MANUFACTURER that recommends that short a life. That advice/warning is purely MARKETING driven, to sell more tires.
