Motorhome weight and tire psi scale
I just wanted to show how important to verify your Georgetown weight as it paramount to your steering and driving comfort as well as your safety.
Last year I replaced my original Michelin tires as they were 55,000 miles and over 5 years old. The wear and tread was still good but I changed them because of safety.
After researching I decided to go with Toyo M154 tires and the closest equal size was 245/75R22.5 (Original Michelins XRV were 235/80R/22.5)
My install price with tire balancing, tax was $2,560 which was a very good deal as the Michelins would have been over $1,000 more.
The tires are rated the same for speed and design.
Note: Ford wants their F-53 weight distributed 40% on front tires and 60% on rear axle. Almost exactly what I have.
Now with them installed I needed to verify my Georgetown's weights and figure out what would be the proper tire psi for the front and rear tires.
What I found was that my Georgetown fully loaded was 2000 lbs under my GVWR sticker that says 22,000lbs. This is great.
I have attached my weight scale report as well as Toyo tire weight/psi for you to examine and read.
My present COLD Tire pressure are: Front 75 psi and rear dually 80 psi.
I actually went a bit higher in weight because I took into consideration a full fuel tank and full water tank.
Hope this information will help you get some idea of how my 378TS weighs and how it relates to your tire pressure.
Have a great summer.
