axle weights question on 2002
#5

Individual axles weights are great for determining if you are over GVW on any axle, and yours look very good. For determining individual tire pressures and coach balance, I feel an individual wheel weighing is in order--had Newell do mine. Before I began dropping tire pressures, I would want to take into account side to side weights and not just individual axle weights. I believe Michelin even says to determine which wheel on an axle is heaviest and use that weight on both sides for determining tire pressures on that axle. Using my coach as an example my left front and right rears(both drive and tag) are the heaviest. My side to side weights differ as much as 500 pounds. That surprised me, as I would have assumed that the left side would have been heavier than the right on all axles, on a 2 slide coach. Just thought I'd give you something to ponder as you drive down the road.
