Should Tire Pressure be Inflated to PSI Rating Marked on Tire?
Question:
My Fifth Wheel Spec sheet reads Tire Pressure at 65 PSI ?? When 5th is fully loaded should I be inflating to 80 PSI cold as marked on the Tire ?

Expert Reply:
Inflate your tires to 80 psi cold like is marked on your tires now.
The tires that were originally on your fifth wheel are almost certainly different than what you have now, which is why the spec sheet has a different psi. To get the best performance and keep the maximum load capacity you want to follow the psi that is on your tire at the moment, which is 80.
