Suggest you read the Michelin tire guide to understand to how best determine what PSI you should be using. Basically you weigh each corner, determine what your axle loading is, and then using the tables to determine the correct PSI for the front and the rear duals.We run 105 in the front and 90 in the rear.
I strongly believe in following manufacturers recommendations but my coach came with Goodyear tire so I am using their table. I weighed the front end at 7,700lbs with my wife and I in the front seats. Since I was not heavily loaded I allowed for another 1300lbs and increased the axle weight to 9000lbs. The chart says that 90psi gives me that much carrying capacity. Being cautious I bled them down to 93psi for now.
I had 16,200lbs on the rear axle but figured that it would catch most of any increased load so I looked up the tire pressure for 18,000lbs and saw that it was about 102psi and went with that. If I am comfortable with this and get better data later I may drop the pressures a little more.
