Pretty sure you will never get the “the correct” tire pressure but you will get opinions
My opinion is 35-38
Here is a tire pressure chart based on size and number of plus.
Those are MAXIMUM unloaded inflated pressures.
Can't argue with that logic!I strongly advise 42 psi because 42 is the answer to everything, so it can't be wrong. and easy to remember when you wanna fill your tires during maintainance.
I run 25 psi in the RV-4 mains, should be close to what an RV-6 weighs. I have been using the same Airstop tubes for three sets of tires (I'm cheap). I will probably be getting a flat any day now.
Anyone have any popcorn
used 25 for a while... then developed a puncture on the left - then on the right side. Slow leak, abrasion hole on the sidewall of the tube for both.
Increased to 35, now developing shimmy about 50% of the landing, but no puncture, yet.
Will increase next to 40 and see. And fetch that bowl of pop-corn
