The good thing about Lithium is you're pretty much "one & done" because they will last so long.

I've always gone by what the tire manufacturer recommends, not what the vehicle manufacturer recommends. If Goodyear recommends 65psi, run them at 65psi.

Our Jayco is a 2015 model manufactured in late 2014 so I doubt it has the LI/WIZ jumper but I'll check the next time I'm at the storage lot. Lithium batteries weren't even talked about 4 years ago.
