Tire pressure and temperature recommendations

Been a looooong time since we have had a trip to take, and now it's upon us!
I can't remember what I last decided about tire pressure.
We have a 2008 Allegro QDB. It's got 4 tires on 1 axle in the back.

I have all 6 tires set at 95PSI. How does that sound?

Also, I have installed a TPMS which monitors temperature.

What is a too-high tire temperature?

Thanks!

    Have bought tires for millions of miles. Over inflated will make it ride rough. And might have a little affect on handling. Under inflated will ruin a tire in a short distance.
    Assuming you have a good compressor I would air up to max sidewall, stop by Cat on your way first day. Then after tires cool, and before next travel day adjust to chart.

    You need to know the weight...at each corner or at least each axle. Then you can check the tire manufacture's chart for those weights. If the tire pressures are right the temperature doesn't matter unless it changes drastically


    I would add that it needs weighed while loaded for travel.

    My MH weighs 19,000 lbs loaded, and I run 80psi in the front and 85psi in the rears. Based on both the Toyo and Michelin tire tables and the true weight of the MH.

    I have 2007 Allergo 32BA and I run 95 psi in all the tires, and my gross weight is 18,000 lbs.
