35# for all three...............

32 all three. So far so good but no wheel pants yet.

Tire Pressure
 

-8A. 35 for mains, 30 for nose. 100 hrs. No shimmy

RV-7A: 35 mains, 40 nosewheel...

I put 45 lb in the main and about 40 in the nose gear. It makes it moving back to the hanger much easier and no sheemy in the main. The nose gear has more to do with the condition of the taxi way and my speed but generally very little.

Thanks guys. appreciate your help

I run 40 in the mains and 40-45 in the nose.

Maybe I'll increase the pressure in mine. It's a bear to push uphill into the hanger at 32lbs.

Tire Pressures for RV's
 

Desser Tires has he following on their web site:

The Tire & Rim Association has published general operating pressures for an Unloaded tires in varying sizes and plies. For the RV series tires, these are:
?500-5 4 Ply - 31lbs psi
?500-5 6 Ply - 50lbs psi
?15/600-6 6 Ply - 68lbs psi
?11/400-5 8 Ply - 70lbs psi

40# Mains, 30# nose

Tire pressure
 

RV4: Used to run 30 psi in mains with just a slight shimmy (don't know which wheel) while slowing almost to taxi speed. Increased psi to 35 and shimmy went away.
