Hi Tireman9.
I have been reading lots of threads on tire pressure. I am still confused. 2020 Winnebago Adventurer with 235/80R22.5 tires.
I have the Micheline chart but even after calling Micheline I am not sure what tire pressure to use.
The vehchile sticker says 90 psi on all tires. I have weighed the RV as follows: 6,860 lbs front axle and 13,780 lbs rear.
Micheline says to set pressures using individual "wheel" weight, not axle weight. I have no way to get the wheel weights.
Here is a question that Micheline would "not" answer: do I dived the axle weight by 2 to get wheel weights? I don't think so; the numbers just don't jive with the tire pressure chart.
I have excessive outer wear (both inside & outside treads) on both front tires, telling me they are under inflated at 90 psi. So I now run them at 95 psi. But I cannot logically see this presure justified on the tire pressure chart for the weights I have.
Your comments appreciated...!!!!
