Every tire maker I know says "Follow the RV manufacturer's tire pressure instructions." My recommendation....follow Winnebago's guidelines.
Not sure I've ever read that. Any tire manufacturer I've dealt with says to go by their weight chart.
The ONLY way to get proper PSI is to load your rig for travel (Including fuel, water, people, food, etc) and weigh it - 4 corners if you can - and adjust PSI based on the TIRE manufacturer's chart.
The stickers put on the MH at the time of manufacture have no clue how you will load your rig for travel and are a worst case scenario. Conservitive - yes, accurate - no.
