NHTSA states that a tire which is 25% low of CIP aim is basically a flat tire.
However, if the outside temp was to increase significantly for your days drive such that the adjusted CIP for outside temp was back to the 100F then you would be OK.

They came up to pressure when it was still 0 degrees.

The ones around here are all built above ground and there's no way to do it with the scale up so high. In WA state they leave the scales on when the scale is closed and they have room to do each wheel or a whole axle and one side. Either way you get the weights you need.

Weigh-In Suggestion
Jondrew, If you are in Orlando/Oviedo area, you might want to consider making a bit longer drive to get all 4 corners weighed independently in Merritt Island. rvsafety.com is based in Merritt Island and has teams who travel the country working RV Shows and reunions weighing rigs. They are experts and print out a report for you. They are not always in town so check their website for contact info and see if you can get hooked up. I will soon be taking mine over there as well, contacted them on email. Happy Trails!

Been reading posts about running well below that to increase ride comfort. Need to get actual axel weight to do that per the posts I've read. Seems to be one scale about an hour away from me that gives true per axel weights. I'll have to give it a whirl.

you won't get a better ride running those 255's lower... they are too small to lower the pressure with out making them wobble

Google public scales or check yellow pages. Farm and feed supply stores, large landscape suppliers, and others will have scales available.
I use a farm supply very near me. Usually they weight a whole truck, however they can do four corner weights for an RV - drive on the scale with left front only, pull forward till only left rear is on, drive up the street and turn around to repeat the other side.

I would not be surprised if you're right. This is mostly curiosity. Like others have said, I'm probably running at or close to the max on the rears to begin with

why I was asking was that adds a lot to the very rear of the coach...
that and if you have a resident fridge,..there are two more batterys on the rear plus the weight of the fridge all on the same side...
could be enough to make a handling issue

We got weighed at Freightliner last week and got the news that the RR is heavier the than
LR (by about 2,000 pounds!). We do have the washer/dryer and residential refrigerator. Not sore that we can move enough stuff to compensate for the difference.
