twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Can you have too much tire pressure? We had new tires installed before our last trip to the Fort in May (we live in Atlanta so about 1000 miles round trip). After the Fort, we took a trip to Chattanooga, TN (another 220 miles added). Our tires are rated for 50 psi, but each time we've checked them (including first thing this morning) they are well over 50. Is this okay? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Not okay. They need to be at the cold psi on the tire when cold or inflated according to a load chart if you know your weights. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Yes if you are reading it from the sidewall. Sometimes the sticker on the camper will be load based and will be lower. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ftwildernessguy 778 Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Keep in mind, however, that if you have 50 psi cold and then you check them hot at a rest stop, they will register higher, and that's okay. Don't let air out when they are hot to get them down to 50. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TnBob 311 Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Key word here is "cold", if one side is in the sun and the other in the shade one could be 10+ pounds higher Best reading would come in the morning before the sun beats down on either or both sides. Sometimes thats not possible so use common sence, there is nothing worse than tire problems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Blowouts suck and I have had them with good tires properly inflated at low speeds. Sometimes you do all you can and you still find that one screw on the highway and boy does it screw up your day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daverene 14 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 The sticker on our rv says 65 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arthuruscg 34 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 If you changed tire size or type (ST to LT) don't go by the sticker. ST tires are always infated to the Max pressrue on the side wall. For LT tires, you shoudl be able to ask the manafacture for the Load vs pressure table to get you in the ball park.
