Been a looooong time since we have had a trip to take, and now it's upon us! I can't remember what I last decided about tire pressure. We have a 2008 Allegro QDB. It's got 4 tires on 1 axle in the ...

From your tire manufacturer's Inflation Table, determine proper minimum PSI based on axle weights. Add 10-15% as a safety cushion-- perhaps 15-20%, as you need to account for left/right imbalance.
