There's a reason the vehicle manufacturer has to put the tire inflation values on all motor vehicles and a reason tire manufacturers have inflation vs load charts for their tires.

What may have worked for you in your occupation doesn't really apply to motorhomes.

The man ask for data...I just gave him what the data renders not my opinion. [collecting and analyzing for years, a luxury most consumers never get.] I bought my first motor home in 1979 and owned one ever since. My experience is all I can give, and sidewall max cold psi, brews up the best wear, heat dissipation and ride.

Proper suspension parts will do more for a smooth ride than lower psi, which can very dangerous.

I know this is a tough tough topic and along the same lines of synthetic vs. dino oil, Koni vs. Bilstein etc, etc.....data however shows the tire manufacturer to have the edge here.
