Another Tire Question
I recently received a tire chart from the president/COO of Armstrong Tires. (The tires on my class A motor home)
Attached is scale receipts for our motor home with and without the utility trailer.
Presuming the best advise is to use the heaviest option then I must presume a combination of the two scales.
(the front axle is heaver without the trailer attached and of course the real axle is heaver with the trailer attached.
So, using the front axle of 5300 pounds and the rear axle of 9400 pounds, here is my question
Front axle of 5300 pounds divided by two tires. Then each tire is carrying 2650 pounds. Using your tire chart, then I should have each front tire at 65 PSI (which will carry 3085 each) SINGLE
Rear axle of 9400 pounds divided by 4 tires. Then each tire is carrying 2350 pounds. Using your tire tire chart, then I should have each rear tire at 65 PSI (which will carry 2910 each) DUEL
Although, the president/COO agreed with my math and logic, these just seems low tire pressure. Using 65 PSI all the way around would be easy to remember.
What are your thoughts?
