I have a heavily modified 2015 GWV. Following almost all the mods I took it to a CAT scale and with 2 of us on board, full contents except some food and clothes, full fuel and no water the rear axle weight was 5280, front axle 3860.
When I look at the tire pressure charts and the rear axle weight I end up with about 35psi in the rear duals. I am planning to try 45psi to see how it feels and how tire temps run. I have a really hard time believing the pressure can be this low, but unless I'm missing something ..... And yes I'm missing the water that I need to add in depending on which tank I'm counting it in, it moves rearward as it is used. I also need to leave some reserve for side to side imbalance, hence the 45 start.
the tires are LT215/85R16
If this is the case then a softer ride is in order pending it not making the rear squirmy.
