Tire pressure
We have a Winnebago Class A, 27 ft. Vista. The sticker on the driver wall says that GAWR front wheel weight is 6500 pounds, rear wheel weight is 11,000 pounds. Tire size 245/70R10 5G 19.5 x 6.75....

A word of caution:
It is common nowadays for vehicle manufacturers to specify tire pressures more than the minimum. Check the GAWR's vs the placard. If you are going to use the tire load tables, do NOT forget to include this amount of over pressure - and do NOT forget that there is side to side variation.
And to address counter arguments BEFORE they are posted:
1) The tire load tables are MINIMUM's, not recommendations (even says so on the charts)
2) Tire wear is only slightly affected by inflation pressure. Other factors have much more of an affect. Besides, as time goes on, tire manufacturers will adjust (and have been adjusting) their tires so they wear evenly at elevated pressures.
