I spoke to the manufacturer?s rep for Air Hawk tires today.
He mentioned that the recommended pressure for the 15x6.00x6 tires is 68 psi. He explained that it is a low squat tire and is designed for much higher pressures than a 6.00x6 tire (which is typically supposed to be at 42psi). I currently have 35 psi in them so I was pretty surprised by his comments.
He further said that all tubes by major manufacturers are the same now. Air Hawk was the last to switch away from natural rubber to butyl rubber (about 5 years ago). He said stories of people needing to put air in their tires monthly indicate a problem like a leaking valve.
I am wondering what pressure other people are using for the main gear tires on the RV10s (and other RVs for that matter).
BTW, can you tell I am doing the annual based on the number of maintenance related posts in the last few days?
