Hi,

What should my tire pressure (psi) be?  11r x 22.5.
2005 Inspire 330 36'.  It's not loaded with water or our stuff yet.  It has a full tank of gas and propane..we will be filling it soon.  But wanted to make sure the tires were filled correctly.
Thanks,
Lauren

"tires filled correctly ?"    Fill coach with all your stuff.  Weigh coach then adjust air pressure accordingly

per Michelin tire charts.

You need to split weigh your coach, so you know the weight of each corner.  Then you take the highest front pressure, go to the charts and fill both tires to that weight and add an extra five pounds for margin.  Then monitor the tires to see if they are wearing evenly across the tread.  If they are wearing to much on the sides then add more air, if they are wearing to much in the center take a little away.  You do the same thing for the duals in the rear.  As the duals with 2 ride height valves handle the rolling action of the coach an extra 5 pounds wouldn't hurt either.  If one corner of your coach is taking to much stress, say left front, then you need to shift your packing inside the coach and in the storage bays.  If you have to little weight up front you need to move more weight up front to reduce wandering and the influence of trucks pushing you around while passing the coach.  TWI. 98 Allure 30255, 37 Ft., and now 2004 Intrigue 11731 43 FT.
