There was a big scandal surrounding the use of that tire on RV's...and though Goodyear never recalled them, they certainly stopped using/promoting them for use on motorhomes. Link to one story.
If the sticker pressures were/are related to the use of that tire, you might want to take the earlier advice to contact the rig manufacturer as to whether or not they apply to replacement tires.
