The side wall on my tires recommends max load cold 80 psi. What tire pressure are you using when both towing and not towing your rv?

I run 60 in the front 80 in the rear towing and 60 in all 4 when not. If ya leave 80 in the rear all the time they wear out faster and don't ask how I know this...:D ....Ken

I have ran the tire pressure as the sidewall says. Haven't had any problems. Running tires lower than the manufacture will cause less fuel mileage and unusual tire wear. Our Truck rides and drives better when tire are aired up to were GM says to run them. IMHO. GBY...

The recommended air pressure on GM models is always on a label on the drivers side door , mine says 55 Front, Rear 80 lbs. The catch comes in at the bottom of the label... see operators manual for additional info. Thus I just keep same pressure in the rear as the front when not hauling , better ride and less tire wear......Ken
