Tire Pressure

We have a 2013 340xl. Inside the cab the sticker says 90psi for the front and rear, inside and out. The tires them selves say 110psi cold. I check the tire preside today, cold, and they read just over 100psi. What is the correct pressure to go by?

What is the load on the tires?

The correct tire pressure depends on the actual load on the tires; but never lower than the cab sticker and never higher than the tire sidewall.

Hey Herk, the load is minimal. In total, under cab storage. may have a total of 500lbs of cargo if that. LPGAS is 3/4, black and grey empty, fresh 3/4 ( just filed up it up), fuel is 1/4. We won't be towing.

I think you missed my point. Have you weighed your rig?
Get the gross weight and divide by the number of tires.
Look up that weight in the table and see what the recommended tire pressure for that load is.

If less than the sticker; use the sticker.
If more that the sticker; use the table pressure. You MAY BE overloaded.
If more than the sidewall pressure; YOU ARE OVERLOADED.

Table? I have yet to see a chart or table showing weight weights and receded tire pressure. Above the driver on the left wall it has a stick showing tire pressure for the front and back tires only, no chart it table? ???!

I attached a sample to my original post as a PDF.
The manufacturer of your tires has one just like it.

I think your MH was Michelin Tires.
Go to the Michelin Web Site and reference the RV Tires Load &
Inflation Guide.
You should find your tire size.

Thanks for all the replies. The faculty we store the Rv at shares the complex with a mining / mineral company and they have a scale on site.

Did you ever get it weighed? Curious to hear what the weight is.
