Hi Van, thanks for sharing. Did you provide the stems and ballast or is that something common in shops? I’m also about to replace my steers. First time since initial tires purchase when I got my FC in 2016.
Purchased the balancing beads & special stem inserts off Amazon. However Pete’s would’ve furnished & installed them (different brand), had I not provided them. They recommended new stems & seals, which they furnished. Beads take the place of physical balancing with lead weights, which they do not do. I put beads in all my tires 8 years ago and have been very happy with how smooth they roll. Would not do without now.
Yes but each coach, tire and load combination will be different. As a starting point, it’s always best to know & use your four corner weights. Then go into the Load & Pressure tables for your specific Manufacturer, Corner Weight and Tire Model & Size to find their recommended inflation PSI. For example… the Michelin installed in this video 315 80R 22.5’s and their chart can be found here: www.michelinrvtires.com/reference-materials/load-and-inflation-tables/#/. The 315 table says I should be running 105, as my RF corner is just above the 100 number.

I keep 110psi in my front tires and 90psi in the rears.
