I have a 96 Allegro Bay 28 P30 (which is 29'6" long). I run 80 psi in the airbags and 90 psi in the tires. I have a Bridgestone M729F I've chosen for primarily winter duty. Like any winter tire it's more "wiggly" especially in the front. The tires I replaced aged out, but had the common side rib on the outside which was nice and sturdy for the steer tires & gave a beautiful ride, some of which I've sacrificed. I thought the rib looked like a liability for winter use. I wish these tires were more of a happy medium up front, but it's workable and when it's snowy & icy I'm right at home and I've never slipped in steering braking or accelerating (amazing).
Plate Info
14800 GVWR
GAWR:
5300 front axle 2650 gross front tire max load each
9840 rear axle 2460 gross rear tire max load each
Actual Scale Weights at half tanks:
12,640 both axles
4660 front axle (2330 front tire each)
7980 rear axle (1995 rear tire each)
I did the math at full tank loads, with people, food & luggage and I was somewhat frightened at how close to the max I must be all loaded down.
