I see comments on people using different tire inflation levels but no reference to actual tire loads.
When selecting the Cold Tire Inflation, there is a minimum which is the inflation needed to support the measured load on the heavier end of that axle.
Tire Placard or door jam sticker is simply an estimate based on what someone thinks you have loaded into your RV. Its not unreasonable to start out using that inflation but if you really want to ensure the best tire life then you need to confirm actual tire loading for your individual unit as not everyone carries the same number of bowling balls.;)
