Air in drive tires

[JackConrad]

I think you will find there are no discounted pressure pro units.

Don't know about any discount, but if you purchase one from www.rvsafetysystems.com, you are purchasing it from a fellow busnut who provides much help to other busnuts on this BB.  Jack

As example- I run 11R-24.5 Michelin XZE 16 ply all around.  For maximum tire inflation on the side of the tire, it says 120psi and 7160lb for single and 6610lb for dual.  But my bus with my wife and I in it with full fuel, water, etc weighs in at 10,500lb front, 20,500lb rear.  According to the inflation tables I should run 80lb in front and 83lb in the rear.  For ease of measure and a little extra capacity, I simply run 90psi all around.  Recently went through Mojave desert in 105 degree weather, and the tires were running just warm to the touch.  When you have run for a couple of hours at freeway speeds, feel with your hands the temp of the tires.  One-they should only be a bit warm to the touch and the dual tires should all be just about equal in temp, with the exception of the inners a bit warmer since they don't get as much air as the outers. 
      Get your bus weighed as previously suggested so you really know.  If I ran 120psi in my tires, it would ride like a fork lift.  With proper tire pressure, both your ride and tire wear will be maximized.  Good Luck, TomC

Thanks for the example we'll check our weight.

redbus, is that on all your tires?  the duals on the bus, the truck, and the singles on 2 axles on the bus, the front axle on the truck and both axle tires on each of the 4 wheelers?  some people have way toooo much fun (and money).
