Yet another tire pressure question.
I could use some verification of the tire pressures for my motorhome. I think I have this right, but I sure would like someone who knows more to confirm if I do. My coach is a 2002 Monaco Diplomat...

Also seached the tire sises and loadkind from Michelin.
Will give both pictures in this post and below that will give my idea what has been done here.
First the goodyear data
and now same sise from Michelin.
What to my opinion has been done by goodyear is that the tire was originaly calculated in maximum load for 9 bar wich is conversed to 130 psi.
this gives single 6940 lbs maxload = LI 148, wich is also given at Goodyear list list at top for 125 psi.
Later they realised that for 125 or 120 psi the maximum load has to be recalculated to lower.
The G159 list gives 6610 lbs maxload at 125 psi wich is Loadindex 146. If you look at Michelin list at 125 psi you see 13460 axle = 6730 a tire loadcapacity wich is yust below LI 147/6780 lbs so rounded down to LI 146.
So this strongens my opinion to use the lower maxload tire in the goodyear list.
