Thanks for the recommendation on Robert Marble's blog. I have spent a couple (rainy day) hours reading it. Many very informative articles. Thank you for your help.

I have a Class A, Winnebago Journey. I have an issue/question regarding inflating tires to proper PSI. I know that we are to measure the PSI when the tires are cold (not driven on for a while). I know that the appropriate tire PSI is calculated from the tire pressure charts in combination with the weight on each tire/wheel. My issue is, if my PSI is low then I have to drive from my garage or campground to the service center to have air added and by that time I get to the service center the tire has built up pressure to be over the appropriate COLD pressure. So, do I add or not?
An exapmpe:
Appropriate PSI for the tire/wheel is 105 (when cold)
I measure the pressure before driving and it is 100, so I am 5 lbs low.
I drive to get air and the pressure has built up to 110.
The tires are rated for a max of 110 PSI.
Once at the service center do I add 5 lbs to the 110 up to 115 and go over the max PSI rating of 110 for the tire?
I could not find on this forum the answer to this specific issue. I may be on the forum, but I could not find it.
Thanks in advance for any advise,
Bob
