24r tire pressure?

What tire pressures are you using?

I run 65 in the front and 70 in the rear. Door sticker says 61. Max for the tires is 80.

80 psi on all 6...

65 all around. When I calculated it all out, it came to something like 60 per tire, so I rounded up a bit.

I spoke with our local tire shop and they suggested 80 psi on all tires due to the MH weight. Had them for a year at 80 psi with no issues

I weight my coach loaded and then use the (hopefully) attached Tire Load PSI Chart. For me it's the same as someone else mentioned. . .60 lb so I go up to 65. I'm planning to add a tire pressure/temp system as I've had on previous RVs but for now I shoot the tires with an infrared temperature gun at rest stops. Temps are always well within the safe zone.

80 cold, just like it says on the tires.
I had it at 70 for 12,000mi and I start to see uneven wear (consistent with low pressure). Now I go with the tire mfg. spec.

Hmm. My dealer said to follow the Mercedes guidelines which are different from what the tires say I think.

Go with tire sidewall pressure.

It seems pretty clear that there are three camps when it comes to motorhome tire pressures. The first camp looks at the recommended pressure (in the manual or on the door jam) and uses that. The second camp looks at the maximum pressure rating of the tire and uses that. The third camp tries to determine the actual load on the axles, calculates the appropriate pressures from the tire manufacturers tables, and uses those.

Each approach has it's good and bad points and each will result in pressures which are not totally unreasonable. Most of us prefer one approach or another and few of us are likely to change.

Two things to consider:

1 mercedes does not guarantee the tires, the manufacturer does. So if you have a failure and you did not follow the mfg. rules, guess who's going to pay?

2 the mercedes spec probably applies to the chassis only, i.e as delivered to the RV manufacturer. Not fully built up and loaded.
Just like the mileage spec: 24 mpg is true for the chassis only.

sprinter-source.com has a number of discussions on tire pressure as it relates to the sprinter chassis. here's a good one. pay particular attention to page 2 as it points you to a tire pressure chart that can be used after you weigh your coach fully loaded to determine the correct tire pressure to use. note that while manufacturers may vary the tire sizes are standard so the gooyear charts still apply.
