Tire pressure confusion
Hi all! I have Goodyear 245/70R/19.5 tires on my 2008 Fleetwood class A 31'. Tire reads max 110 psi. Fleetwood tire pressure sticker shows a recommended 82 psi. Goodyear tire pressure chart shows 2...

On our unit we have the tires set at 80 psi front and rear. This was based on having the unit weighted front and rear at a rally. We have a front axle rated at 7000 lbs and rear axle rated at 12000 lbs. Gross 18,000 lbs.
Ford recommends 82 lbs front and rear. Goodyear based on weights was 78-80 lbs the higher the pressure the harder the ride.
Per the tire pressure system the tire pressure seems to gain between 8-15 lbs depending on outside temperature. I set the tire pressure when the outside temperature were in the 70-75 range. When it is cold out they read slightly lower but within 10 miles they are right on the money. This also allows for the hot tire pressures to be within Goodyear's recommended max pressure.
