And here is what the rear tires look like inflated to 55psi:

My concern is the bulge that appears. Doesn't this increase heat and tire wear?
Would a load range D tire show less bulge when inflated to the recommended psi? After long drives I swear I can smell more "rubber off-ing" on the rear tires than on the front.
Thanks!

That's really, really odd!
The placard calls for 50 psi in the front - which is 3,880# - BUT - the GAWR is 4,600# - which should be 65 psi.
The rears are 55 psi = 7,500# - BUT (again!) - the GAWR is 7810# = 59 psi.
Something is seriously amiss!
For right now, 65/60 seems to be the right answer - although this assumes the weight is perfectly centered (hardly ever!!) - and I think weighing the rig is in order - and since Winnebago screwed this up so badly, I wonder if they got the side to side variation correct. If possible, weigh each corner separately, (or figure out how to get that info.)
