2020, 2021 Anthem tire pressure

[Tim Fox]

We are about to pick up a new Anthem B. It will be a bit before I am able to get it weighed properly. So for now, I’m wondering what tire pressures any 20, 21 Anthem owners are using.

On my '18 115 steers, 85 drives, 90 tags. YAMMV

We are full timers with a 2020 Anthem W. The steers are 105 psi, 85 psi drive and 85 psi tag. You will find after weighing like we did nothing changed.
The 2020 and newer have 365 tires on steers, 315 tires on drive and tag. Any older coaches will have 315 tires on steers and 295 on drive and tag. Therefore, they will require higher air pressures.

I've never weighed my coach, I know I should, but just never did. I based my air pressures on ride quality and the chart behind the seat. (let the lectures begin)

I found that with 315 steers and 295 rears that 130/85/95 worked the best. After 45K the wear is even across the tires, except the tags which show signs of scrubbing on the outer edge

B-Man49, just the type of info I was looking for. New Anthems ride on larger tires than our 2016, so I was looking for a ball park figure.

I originally set mine at 125/85/95. No wear issues but a tendency to bottom out every once in a while on rough interstates. NIRVC weighed and suggested 115/85/90 in April. We have had no bottom outs since. But these mean nothing with the larger tires on the 21's.

Not going to lecture but your ride will improve from that of a tank to something more akin to a cadillac if you would dump a lot of the air you have forced in there in your steers..... but if you enjoy that ride, then have at it........

Spartan told me 120 front and 85 rear and tag. They said to never go below 85 on rear dual. They are close together and could rub and get damage.

I’m almost coming to the conclusion that our coach’s may be danger to us and the people around us..... I know this guy did everything wrong, but you can do everything right and still have a steer tire blowout..... I hope they fix Retrobands ASAP

Things happen. But if you are not smart and dont do the head work that any driver of a 50,000# vehicle is logically supposed to do, then yes, you and everyone else on the road is in danger. For this guy to pay no attention to his tire pressures, to be running 9 year old tires, and be so unable to hold his coach as to cross three oncoming lanes and bounce over a mid-road barrier, we are not talking about someone who uses anywhere close to due diligence. I'm sorry he had this accident, glad that no one was hurt, but don't blame the motorcoach for this one..... Nothing takes the place of some brains and good judgement and reasonable care.

What he said!

I know your right, Gary & I agree,,,, I am really surprised that there is not some kind of requirement/ training that is in place before ANYONE can just turn the key take off in one of these. ✝️[emoji120]

You may be right, Gary. We travel light, what would you recommend?
