Yep, another tire pressure question Bounder 35k
For those peeps with the 2016 35K, what cold tire tire pressure are you running fully loaded. In lieu of having my rig weighed, I have the fresh water and fuel tanks filled and will be travelling with my family of 6. Minimum tire pressure on the Michelins says 110 PSI. Thanks

That's a minimum for the maximum load that the tire is rated for and doesn't apply to your situation. My 35E Bounder required 90 all around if it was totally loaded to the chassis max. I would use that figure which you should find on a placard on the drivers side inside wall. You'll need a lot less once you have it properly weighed.

That is what is on the tire sticker by the driver, 90 psi. That is a good number to use until you get your loaded rig weighed by each wheel.

Agreed with the above - 90. Check your yellow sticker by the driver's seat.
It may give you are harsher ride than necessary and may wander more than necessary but better to be safe than sorry (and have underinflated tires)
Full tanks is a lot of weight 110x8.3 > 913 lbs
Definitely get that rig weighed. Many trucks stops have scales and it only costs about $10. At least it will give you axle weights.
Be safe out there

It is far better to get a per wheel weighing. My first motorhome when weighed, the front axle was in limits but the front left tire was overloaded (too many tools in front left compartment).

As others have said, run the 90 for now until weighed but I have mine pretty well outfitted and with my weights can run 75 up front and 78 to 80 in rear. Get it weighed, if you are able to run lower pressures due to less weight, your coach will ride much better. I had my tires set at the proper pressure back in january when the temps outside were 10 degrees. The rig was parked and being used fulltime until a couple weeks ago and the temps were in the 90s. I arrived around midnight to pull out and head north and didnt want to mess with tire pressures in the dark. Holy cow what a harsh ride until the following day when I was able to set pressures for the current warmer temps. My point is, get it weighed and check and adjust often and your ride will be much better. Small changes can mean a lot.

I ran with 75 up front and 80 in the rears. The OP will have a better ride once they have the MH properly weighed and pressures properly adjusted.

Tire pressure can drive you nuts....especially with a TPMS. I start out at 90 and as I am driving it can go up to 110 when it is hot. I check tires sometimes in the morning before a trip and the 90 is 85 and then when the sun arises it can climb to whatever. It is all about following the manufacturer's recs. let the ambient temperature do what it does to tires.
