Chad Heiser Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 100 on steers, 100 on drives, 100 on trailer tires. I like to keep it simple. I have more air than I need in the drives according to the tire charts for my weight, but the others are where they need to be and the ride difference was not noticeable going up to 100 on the drives. 2000 Kenworth T2000 w/ Cummins N14 and autoshift 2017 DRV Mobile Suite 40KSSB4 with factory mods, dealer mods and personal mods - now in the RV graveyard 2022 DRV Full House MX450 with customized floor plan 2018 Polaris RZR Turbo S (fits in the garage) 2016 Smart Car (fits in the garage or gets flat towed behind the DRV when the RZR is in the garage)My First Solar Install ThreadMy Second Solar Install Thread & Photos and Documents Related to the buildMy MX450's solar, battery and inverter system - my biggest system yet! chadheiser.com West Coast HDT Rally Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim & Wilma Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 105 in steers. And 85 in drives. Single axle ditto . . . after Bill weighed us at ECR. As you'd expect, steers load is highest with Smart loaded and unhitched and is within a few hundred lbs of axle rating. Drives are highest when hitched and has much more margin, though expect we'll erode that a bit. We hope to weigh again at Hutch with Trey and Susan and probably need to bump the drives to 90 after we finish loading up and getting set for full timing. Would like to get Crossfires for the drives but holding off just for this reason.

Gabbie Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 I was told by a tire installer to keep the steers above the 100psi mark or risk breraking the bead in slow turns. So I keep mine around 115 psi steers and around 90-95 psi for the drives. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickW Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 115 sounds way to high to me. Personally steers @ 100psi, drives @ 85psi and trailer @90psi. PSI for each axle position is based on actual weight and tire charts on my tires. 2017 Entegra Anthem 44A SOLD - 2004 Volvo 780. 465hp and 10sp Auto Shift (from 2010~2017) SOLD - 2009 Montana 3400RL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
