There should be a sticky that doesn't allow one to ask these questions until their rig is weighed...I cannot believe how many people do not know the weights of their equipment.
PSI is based on axle weights...period...with a small buffer if you wish. It's a fact that almost ALL blowouts are the result of underinflation of the tires. All tire manufacturers advise to use their tire inflation tables NOT what's printed on the sidewall.....it's certainly not rocket science....weigh your rig, consult the inflation tables, air up the tires and enjoy the trip.....:).....Dennis
I agree, people need to set their pressure based on axle weights
My guess is
25+% do not know the psi in their tires
25+% use a psi they heard some one with a similar MH uses for their tires
45+% use axle weights
<5% use 4 corner weights
Asking people to use 4 corner weights is as effective as asking people have bigfoot set the psi in their MH
Tires do not fail because people set their psi based on axle weights.
