Dually tow vehicle tire pressure
Ok. Dually Truck door jamp sticker says rear pressure 65 pounds and front 70. My 5th wheel is 12995 dry and 15000 loaded. I run 80 pounds in rear tires when towing which is maximum rating. I run 70 in...

Respectively you need to educate your self!
Look at the weight/inflation chart for 17" stock DUALLY rear tires. 35psi is MORE than needed to PROPERLY inflate the 4 rear tires
If your that sure post a link !!!
Its a pity that RV's aren't required to go over the scales and have inspections the same as Trucks, there again if they did there would be a lot less RV's on the road. In the mean time Suit yourself, I strongly suggest you have a meat wagon follow you,
Low tire pressure causes heat which causes blow outs in the same way over inflation does.
when you see your tires wearing on the side, don't check the Alignment because it will be your tire pressures being too low causing excessive wear. Tires that are too low on pressure cause the center of the tire to rise leaving contact with the road which means the edge/side of the tire is the only contact you have with the road. Which creates a longer braking distance and control problems.
You obviously have never been told until now brakes don't stop the vehicle they only slow the wheel rotation, The friction between the road surface and the tire tread is what stop the vehicle. And although it means nothing to quite a lot of people having correctly inflated tires gives better mpg.
As to Education !! Yer right I guess I'll burn my CDL and teaching certificate with the Driving Instructor Certification.
