RV Tire Loading/Inflation Safety Software

I just want to let others know about a new PC software known as "RV Weight & Tire Safety Factors" ( RVWTSF ). It uses the RV vehicle manufactures weight/loading and tire information to determine loading effects on tires, based on recommended tire inflation pressures under current or forecast travel period outside air temperatures. Also, it gives me the information I need for accurately setting my TPMS high and low tire pressure alarm points.

I feel like it gives me a significant travel safety edge.

    Wonder if the OP understands the relationship between load and pressure in tires. Does he understand Interply Shear on multi-axle tires and the effect of inflation on this shear force?

    What might his basis be for advising people to run less than the tire sidewall pressure on TT application?

    Shoot, I hadn't considered that, but check out the join date. I think you've hit the nail on the head.

    The manufactures weight/loading and tire information will not be adequate info to accurately determine air pressures for RV tires. ACTUAL loaded weights must be used which are not available until the owner loads and then weighs the vehicle.
