tire inflation recommendations
Hi all, I finally got to the scales! Here are the numbers. I'm looking for recommendations on tire pressures. front 1600 kg 3527.396 pounds rear. 4890 kg 10780.6 pounds Total 6490 kg 14308 pou...

Filled only the loads, into my MotorhomeRVtirepressurecalculator and here a picture of it, and chanched it already because I saw the tires in a next post. Looked in a list of Goodyear to find 3042/2778lbs as maxload and 80 psi for E-load. Toyo would not load, but is 99% sertain same loads.
Assumed twinwheelaxle,because otherwise the back tires together could not bare the axleload
From this we can draw some conclusions.
Your front 4 point weighig is a little different from the axle weighing.
Probably its becouse of measuring difference of the device it was done with.
Front is a good 25% of total vehicle weight wich is a bit low.
Adviced is to keep that above 30%, for better handling of the car.
In my spreadsheet I use a extra save calculation, and a reserve of 10% standard, and then I wil come to 86 psi advice rear, wich is higher then the maxloadpressure, pressure needed for the maximum load, reference-pressure, but this is not the maximum pressure of the tire.
TRA even allows 10psi extra above this pressure ( yours 80 psi) for better handling and more load at verry low speed.
Your valves can handle it too, because they ar most likely metal valves.
I also placed the spreadsheet under the name pianofulladvice in the examples map of my motorhomeRVcalculatormap on my skydrive.
