I made a mistake...we have air bags, not shocks.
Will get the rig weighed at the beginning of our next trip and go from there.
I have always loved this forum and the people who help me/us!
I only write about tire inflation pressures from the way they are supposed to be inflated and in accordance with tire industry standards.
Bypassing normal automotive tire industry standards and inflating your tires to the load carried is a procedure supported by FMCSA. Those are commercial standards and are not applicable with FMVSS which gives us all the recommended cold inflation pressures found in the vehicle ownerโs manual, vehicle manufacturers -final stage - certification label and on the vehicle load and tire placard.
The recommended cold inflation pressures provide by your vehicleโs manufacturer are considered the minimum safe operating pressures for your vehicle. WRONG!
The U.S. Tire Manufacturing Association (USTMA) will not recommend inflating your tires below the recommended cold inflation pressures displayed on your vehicleโs certification label. NOT A GOOD RECCOMENDATION!
You can find all you need to know about proper tire inflation for your RV starting on page 42 of the reference in the โClick Here!โ tab below.

(I did a search about "tires" on this forum and there were 270 pages that came up so I thought it best to just ask my question directly)

So our question is: If we go lower will we do any damage to our tires?
