This is a campground discussion regarding "Class A" tire pressure. Some of the folks are saying the air pressure should be set while the tires are cold and some say the tires should be set after driving for and hour or so and they are hot. The folks that say hot so the tires are not over inflated when they get hot and the cold folks say all pressure should be done cold by the manufactures specs. What say you?
Tis another fine day to serve in and for the glory of the Corps. Every day is a holiday and every meal a feast.

Always check your tire pressures when they are cold. Have you weighed your motorhome at each wheel? If not, may I suggest you have that completed. Also, look at the tire inflation table for your tires and find out what the proper tire inflation value for a given weight is.

And the definition of cold "ambient temperature, out of direct sunlight and tires rested for a couple of hours".

Why would you question the maker of the tire? So the answer seems obvious to me.

All of the manufacturers tire inflation charts and all safty orgainzations say to check tire pressure with the tires COLD. Not up for discussion.

I believe it is stated on the sidewall of most tires that the pressure is to checked while cold.
