Any comments on this, good, bad or otherwise? Weighed our 26' motor home today packed and ready to go.
Front: 5080 pounds,
Rear: 7820 pounds,
Total: 12,900.
Tires are Hankook LT235/85R16 "E" load rating with max loads at 2778 @ 80psi (Dual), and 3042 @ 80psi (Single).
I couldn't find an inflation table from Hankook, but Michelin has one with the exact same values, and according to the weights, my fronts should be aired to between 65 and 70 pounds, and the rears to about 55 pounds. (both are figuring a couple of hundred pounds of fudge room) Does it seem like a mistake to lower the air pressure that significantly, especially in the rears? We are talking 25 pounds less than the max pressure. I'm anxious to get a little more rubber on the ground in the fronts because I think it will improve handling, but I'm not sure about taking the rears that low.
