Now my question. Since it’s in the low 30s now, should I inflate to 100PSI before I take the RV out for a spin? If I understand the above posts correctly, the PSI will go up when the tires get warm from use. And we’re planning to drive from WV (cold!) to FL (warmer) for Christmas. |
Take the coach and get it weighed. Then set your tire pressures based on the manufacturers recommendations. Arbitrarily set the pressure to max now could result in issues when you roller into higher temps with tires that have already increased by 10 percent due to rolling down the road.
If you are going to overnight between WV and FL then the morning of going to FL check the pressure and set it accordingly.
