Understanding Tire Pressure And Load Limits - venture SPORT TREK Owner's Manual

along with a placard supplying information on tires such as size and
amount of air pressure to carry.
Both placard and certification labels are permanently attached to the
trailer on left front corner of exterior and easily readable from the outside
of the vehicle without removing any covers. Due to weather elements,
labels may fade over time. You may wish to record this information and
keep it on the inside of coach, perhaps with the owner's manual.

Understanding Tire Pressure and Load Limits

Tire inflation pressure is the level of air in the tire that provides it with load
carrying capacity and affects the overall performance of the vehicle. The
tire inflation pressure is a number that indicates the amount of air
pressure—measured in pounds per square inch (psi) - a tire requires to
be properly inflated. (You will also find this number on the vehicle
information placard expressed in kilopascals (kPa), which is the metric
measure used internationally.)
The listed amount of air pressure is for maximum load capacity. When
traveling with less than full weight, you may wish to reduce air pressure
slightly for smoother ride.
While driving, your tires will get warmer, causing air pressure to increase.
To get an accurate pressure reading, you must allow tires to cool for three
hours or more.
For your convenience, purchase a pressure gauge to keep in your tow
vehicle. Gauges can be purchased at auto parts stores.
The recommended tire inflation pressure that vehicle manufacturers
provide reflects the proper psi when a tire is cold. The term cold does not
It is recommended that the tire pressure be checked at the
beginning of each journey and at least once per week during
travel to obtain the maximum life of the tires.
