The only change from stock was Sumo Maxiums; mainly because we were hitting the spring bump stops on the Illinois Interstates due to broken and missing pavement. I had the alignment checked last year at it was with-in specifications. Except for gusty 40 mph front cornering headwinds, the coach handles fine. A little sway on emergency maneuvers; but otherwise, I am happy. We try to load the coach so that everything added is between the wheels and toward the front. Our typical weight is 6,700 lbs front and 11,800 with full propane, fresh water and 77 gallons of gasoline. I run 82 psi in the front and 89 psi in the rear. The reason for the extra pressures in the rear was based on psi gain when the tires are hot. With 82 all around (set at 70 ambient), the rears would gain 20 psi in the 100 degree Texas heat at 60 mph while the fronts would only gain 12 psi. With 89 psi in the rear, the psi gain is now only 14 psi. 16,600 miles to date.
