Hi all
With most items I plan to do now completed on my light build I filled up the diesel tank and took the van down to my local truck scales.
With the only person on site safely behind his plexi screened office and no one by the scale itself, I figured I would position the van as pictured below.
I eyeballed middle of the wheelbase - not middle of the OAL of the van. Correct?
I was surprised the van got nearly 50/50 weight distribution without me in it - 3580 F and 3560 R
Are tire load tables specific to a given tire make & model ?
Or will any LT tire/Load E table do?
On the tire table below, the weight listed is PER TIRE, right? not per axle ?
So at just under 1800lbs per tire, I could be running 35psi all the way around ?
Am I reading the chart correctly ?
I've been running 45psi F and 60psi R to date but guess I can drop the rears down a bit now, right?
please advise...
