Air your tires up to 80 psi and don't worry about it.
A RV that has D tires that inflate to 65 based on max load. Now has E why run max?
Because that is what Goodyear recommends, that is what will keep your tires from getting hot and failing, and because there is absolutely nothing to gain from inflating the tires to anything less than the maximum. I'm pretty sure we've had this discussion before and you have your position and I have mine. While truck tires should be inflated based on load, trailer tires should be inflated to their sidewall maximum.
Sorry NOT true! Call GY Tech support and tell them you are running "D" tires and are at or near weight limit. Then ask them what is the best inflation to run the "E" tires if you up load range.
They will tell you to weigh your RV and use the inflation/load chart take the heaviest tire per axle and then add 5psi to what the chart says,
Reason? They told me better ride, better stopping and better tread wear. That is just one reason for the load charts.
It says MAX inflation for a reason. It does NOY say air to MAX inflation on a tire.
