lylefikse Report post Posted May 22, 2018 We expect our new 4369 Dutch Star next month. Many delays so very anxious. My question is about weighing a coach with a tag axle. Tag is new to us. What math do I use to get the right pressure for all four corners? We have a local grain elevator where I can weigh by corner (after hours). Do I weigh the tag separate?

Ideal is to have the same percent of GAWR on each axle. On some coaches (chassis) the load on the tag is easily adjustable. Not so on others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted May 22, 2018 Lyle, Just to let you know your Topic went in twice and I deleted one of them. Most tire manufacturers have a chart that will tell you the pressures to run in your tires. Brett correct me if I am wrong , but I believe you use the heaver of the two tire on an axle for the weight for PSI to run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct. Take the heavier wheel position on each axle to go to the Inflation table to determine the MINIMUM PSI for all tires on that axle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lylefikse Report post Posted May 24, 2018 Thanks for the quick response. Expect delivery of our new coach late June. After our fire last year can wait to get on the road again. But safely with correct tire pressures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Make sure the wheel on the same axle that you are weighing is at the same exact height (level) and the rest of the coach is level otherwise the readings will be off. You need to do each wheel position individually not the corner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
