tire pressure
All,

What Kevin is suggesting is the standard answer. But I have wondered if one
should run the inside duals slightly lower due to the road crown affect? If
you run the dual exactly the same pressure, then the inside duals carry more
of the axles weight since the road is curved/crowned. Just a thought and I
have not seen anything written on the subject.

Personally, I run 110psi in all my tires, but this isn't the recommended
method. Ideally, each axle should be weighed separately, and the air
pressure
adjusted accordingly by the weight of each axle to the tire manufacturer's
air
pressure table, available on-line.

I've never weighed my BB, but from what I've gleaned from the forum over
the
years, I probably should be running somewhere closer to 100 front, 90
drivers, and 85 tag...I'm sure I'd get a better ride. I've driven the BB
probably
around 10K since I've owned it, and tires show no wear. I'm usually near
max
GVWR, which is why I keep the air pressure pretty high. Also, this was
recommended to me by a large truck tire dealer here in So Cal who mounted
and
balanced the tires when new, and aligned the front wheels.

If you have access to a truck scale, weigh your coach, use the tables, and
adjust accordingly.
