That is for max rated load. Does a RV-9 load the tires to max?Attached is a guide based on number of tire plys.
Only if they have a TOGW of approximately 3000 lbs.That is for max rated load. Does a RV-9 load the tires to max?
I have run 45 psi in all of mine for many years now and that seems to work great.Did a search for tire pressures, and similar to "what oil to use", there are many different opinions, but for a -9, is 35 psi a good overall pressure to inflate the tires?

Just be prepared for potential main gear vibration. Higher pressures reduce gear leg dampening. I ran 32-35 psi for 15 years and never had and gear vibration. Based on posts here, I increased my pressures to 38-40 and got some pretty significant main gear vibration. I have since added wood strips to my main gear legs to act as dampeners. Now I am running 35-38 psi with no issues. I will probably let it migrate to 40 psi as the weather heats up (and tire pressure increases with the temp) but don’t feel the need to go above 40.Thanks everyone for your answers; I'm going to try running 45 psi. Appreciate your recommendations.
