i would take them as the old ones are getting pitted

roadmaster chassis

about 8" 9/16 ID, depending on price I might take 2?

lost on on 95 somewhere on way home in February, would like to replace with original if anyone has one kicking around. Thanks Bill

if you still have them I am interested in couple of drawers, couple of door shelves and the black trim that holds panels on freezer doors, Thanks Bill

Is that Amish unit or norcold

Would like to see the data to support your theory Great information and should sooth the aged out, off shore, cheap owner theorists who are so quick to blame old or foreign tires as the culprit,

Didn’t know that, my rear wardrobe has mirrored doors and system has never skipped a beat, in fact I did have to shut off the trailer this winter, I was still reading from over 100 yards away in storage, 🤣🤣

As stated, been with TST for at least 12 years, they have replaced defective sensors, they exchanged flow through for capped sensors when I expressed concern about how far flow through stuck out past rim on car hauler, sent o rings when I encountered leaks after replacing batteries and replaced all caps on flow through when they were bending after replacing batteries, so fwiw they have been a stand up company and as far as I’m concerned do put safety first, and most importantly I have confidence in the tpms and thats more important than anything because it works

Had same problem, explained it in an email to TST, they air freighted new display to me within days, NO CHARGE, problem solved. Been a customer for over 12 years, have flow through with repeater on coach, non flow through on trailer, had couple of sensors leak after battery replacement, likely my fault, system has saved me major problems several times, detecting and warning of punctures, leaking valve stems and even hot bearing on trailer. Great customer service and great system Same here

I do yes, drive tire actual weight calls for 95 psi in dual tire application,

I think you meant to say tire position as that means each axle end, ie: drive left or right and tag left and right, steer left and right, little confusing for those new to the hobby. As far as tpms, you are right tpms won’t stop debris, tire damage from any number of road hazards, but typically damage creates low pressure or occasionally high pressures, or measurable increases or decreases in pressures or temperatures, and those factors are what tpms warns of, under inflation is still number 1 killer of tires and tpms greatly decreases likelihood of blow outs due to under inflation caused by punctures or damage.

Lots of good advise here, I’ve been using TST for 12 years, well worth the expense and I highly recommend, I use 8 flow through on coach and 4 non flow through on car hauler with a repeater. system has detected several minor leaks and even hinted at bearing problem on trailer which proved to be minor but needed correction. Weighing all 6 positions on the coach is recommended, this allows running lowest safe pressure for each axle which should be based on heaviest weight per axle. Same Pressure across axle. I have found steer tires typically require highest pressure cold. Followed by drive and tag. I have extenders on inner drive axle only, they have not leaked on 10 years. As far as other maintenance, welcome to the club, if you were hoping for plug and play, get out of the motor coach game,

thanks, plenty of experience with older dynastys,, labour of love

Had a few coaches with ISC 8.3 and ISL Cummins 8.9 with Allsion 3000's and 7500 Onan QD's had great luck so far, looking at a Signature with ISM 500 and Allison 4000, 120000 miles on coach, what am I in for and are there any known problems with either I should be aware off. I typically ensure trannys have life long filters and transynd, always run Rotella T6 oil 15\w\40 in motors and genny, Not sure of Onan 12500 hours yet, any issues with these that anyones aware off? Thanks Moxy

True that,

When you have been at this long enough which a few of us have, you start to get an idea of what works. I’ve been at it for more than 25 years, most of those years at the helm of a pusher, 10 years with a tag. When I started out I read a lot and asked questions, always tried to err on the side of safety. Here’s what I know, a few times my TPMS has saved me, couple of slow leaks, few foreign objects getting in my tires and couple leaking valve stems. The TPMS actually picked up a bad trailer bearing and prevented significantly more damage and time spent on the side of the road. So i am a believer in TPMS. I also carry an infrared thermometer, if any tire seems to be higher than surrounding tires it’s usually heat, could be tire, could be bearings, excessive speed or brakes, with thermometer you can narrow it down quickly. Ive weight coach several times and set pressures to highest weight on any axle. Never drive over 65 - 67 mph to keep coach and trailer tires in their window of operation. You look after your tires, use them as they are meant to be used and take proper precautions they will look after you and your trips will be far less stressful. To those new to these incredibly complex machines, there is a wealth of information on this site, there is also some hot air, but all in all, mostly sound advise Education is key

Good advise Agreed

Seems about right, I run my drive at 95, you my be slightly low on drive, adding 5 lbs, your cold temps could be low depending on what scale says

Did same thing in December, only adjusted steer tires down. -15c when I left by the time I got to warm weather steers we’re almost 130 warm I let 5 lbs out next morning

Good plan

115 psi on a Goodyear 295 80 22.5 16ply would support over 14500, inflation should be based on actual weight, placards show max weight inflation pressures, if you don’t need 115 psi don’t inflate that high, it will cause an unnecessarily harsh ride

Don’t know what you are driving but I know I can feel the difference between 115 and 105 on my front axle which is supported by 4 bags just as the drive axle is, I would expect that harsher ride is amplified with 4 tires being inflated to higher psi over two, but that’s just a guess, that along with the significantly higher bag pressures make me want to do what I can to soften the ride in the rear, for the coaches sake and for any ride improvements I can gain, the OP will I am confident make the right decision for their circumstances and their budget, if they can afford better RV designed tire I’m sure that’s what they will do. They can certainly buy commercial tires that will do the job adequately bearing in mind that commercial tires are designed for longevity not ride quality.

Agree, 295s and 275 at the same pressure support more weight than the 11r 14 ply but can be found with 16 ply which have lower weight capacity at any given psi than 295 and similar to 275 and if we agree that lower psi translates into softer ride, 295 80 22.5s are the way to go imho, or 275 80 22.5 which has 500lbs less capacity at same psi still has better ride than an 11r 14 ply or 16 ply iirc,

You have to start some where?
