Tire pressure at 80 PSI ?
I see that the tires on my class B RV is clearly marked 80 PSI, but the previous owner have all 4 tires at around 60 PSI . Should I increase the pressure to 80 PSI ? Sorry to ask this silly question ,...

Am I the only guy that adjusts his tires according to temperature?
July and August in this part of the country often see temps in the 90s and above 100. I normally lower my pressures about 5-7 degrees for those months if I am going to be doing a lot of highway driving.
Drive fifty miles or more at a 100F and check your pressure and you will see why I do that very thing. I also do it in my other vehicles.
60 front, 80 rear except in the extreme heat, then 55 and 73-5. We all have our little preferences and quirks.
That IS a great suggestion and procedure. We dont get much extreme heat here but when I lived in Iraq(worked there) I lowered my tire pressure 4 pounds all round--mid afternoon it was around 140 degrees very often.
