We started out running the max load pressure on our old Pace Arrow class A unit, until we got in some really bad roads in Oklahoma. Man, after half a day of that, we had screws rolling around on the floor and squeaks and rattles we never had before. we pulled into the next little town with an outdoor platform scale, this was at a NH3 fertilizer plant. The fellow on duty was kind enough to help us weigh the front then rear of the motor home. Got the actual weight on each wheel and pulled out the motor home op manual to the tire weight / pressure section. Turns out we were running 40-50% more pressure than what was recommended for that size tire at our load. We adjusted tire pressure to what was recommended and our rig went from riding like an old solid rubber tire Mack dump truck, to about like an automobile or van.
Sure was a lot more plesant ride and much less damage to the coach. Tire temp and fuel mpg changed little if any.
