Hey guys
I have an 84 as many of you know. Being one of the Guru's in the middle of a career with kids at home we are just now taking it out for the first time this summer. Yes you read that correctly. You retired guys kill me!
Anyways I am looking for tire pressure recommendations from you all. I don't have a tag on this coach and the tires are Goodyear 11R24.5. I think they are aired a little too much based on my memory, but i had it in getting a tire with a bad valve fixed and the guys aired them all up. The front are at about 122 and the 4 in the rear are all about 100. A couple of years ago Clarke and I had them at 105 in the front and 90 in the back because he also thought they road a little stiff. I was going to set them back to this but before I did I thought I would see what recommendations you all might have for me. We will be driving 2,000 miles I imagine from our place to Yellowstone and back.
Don't ask me the weight of the coach. I can't recall what it was the last time I weighed it. Seems to me ideas packed and probably 2,000 lbs short of the maximum possibly.
Thanks for your help!
If this works I have attached a pic of the tag from the coach showing max weight and recommended air.
