Air pressure - who is right
Wednesday, June 11th, 2008Tire pressure is usually a subject that everyone agrees to disagree on but I confused on this one. I have posted this in the SMB forum and in the Sprinter-source forum. Since the #1 cause of tire failure is low air pressure we can’t take this lightly.
This is the manufacturer’s label . . .
and I don’t know whose label (Sportsmobile?) this is but the difference is major.
The tires maximum capacity is 3049 pounds at pressure 80psi.
The GVWR in 8550 pounds with the GAWR Front 3970 and the GAWR Rear 5360. I am not over these but I am within about 200 pounds.
Higher pressure will help my mileage but a stiffer ride on these trashed freeways in California will be bone crunching. (I have hit some holes that the rear axle comes entirely off the road.)
BTW, if the rear seating capacity is 0 as it reads on the second photo, why do I have 4 seatbelts in the rear?
