Be sure the coach is at it's heaviest when getting the weights. Also try and learn the load on each end of each axle as many coaches have hundreds of pounds different Right to left. Use the heavier end number to learn the minimum inflation needed for the tires on that axle.
Add 10% or 10 psi for a margin and inflate all tires to that level but don't exceed the tire sidewall max number
Check inflations when tires are "cold"
Read my blog for mare details.

Read the tire manufacturers load / pressure chart carefully.
105-107 psi on the steer axle of a DP, to me, is already on the low side.

Ben, my Dynasty has a 13,000 lb front axle and when I had the coach weighed it only had 12,400 lbs on the front. Each Toyo 295/80R22.5 will carry 6,545lbs with 100 lbs of air pressure on a single axle which is more than the axle capacity of my coach.

You probably need it--I'll bet your coach weighs a lot more than mine does.

Toyo M144
I had the 144's on my Country Coach and loved them. Bought a new rig and went with the M154 at the recommendation of Toyo customer service. They said the M144 is being phased out of production. The M154 were all very recent 2017 production. Very happy with the new rig (Dynamax 34XL). Quite a rig.

After reading this thread and others regarding Toyo tires, decided to replace my original 2011 Goodyears with Toyo M144 295/80/22.5. Priced Michelins at $5688 vs Toyos at $3328 out the door.

Did you get new valves or replace the rubber parts of the valves? (O-rings and gaskets).
It's easy to forget that these rubber parts also "age-out" just like the rubber in our tires.

They reaplaced the valves, but a couple of the extenders needed replacing due to worn o rings.
My front wheels are equipped with the Tyron bands and they had a hard time removing them, scratching my wheels up in the process...
