Tire pressure

Hey all you Seneca folks.

I have heard some folks say they run their tire pressure at 80 psi vs the recommended 110 psi for a "softer ride". Do any of you all have thoughts on this, I have always gone by the tire/chassis recommendation.

Thanks,

JD

Adjusting air pressure for ride comfort also affects tire wear. As you adjust your tire pressures take a piece of sidewalk chalk and draw several lines across the tread. 9, 3 and 12 o’clock then Drive in a straight line for 50-100 feet, inspect the lines you drew.
IF the lines wear OFF the OUTSIDE of the tread, and STAY on INSIDE, your tires are cupping:pressures are too low
If the chalk wears OFF the INSIDE of the tread and STAYS on OUTSIDE: pressures are too high
If you have a relatively EVEN WEAR PATTERN of the chalk the pressures are ADEQUATE for EVEN TIRE WEAR.

Weight the coach and set the tire pressure to what the tire manufacturer recommends for the actual weight. If possible get a four corner weight. Use individual axle weight if four corner is not available.
