Re: [VAL] Tires/Google search

If you are planning to run the tires at low pressure... put "RV tire 
inflation" in a Google search and look for the results expected from low 
pressure.... As I recall, the life expectancy went down about 10percent for 
each 10lb reduction in pressure...Due primarily to heat buildup, I assume...

I like the idea of using Nitrogen... cost is the only deterrent... need to 
get a bottle at a welding shop and use a regulator to reduce the 2000 lb 
tank pressure... can't just put a hose on that kind of tank....welding 
regulators usually drop the pressure below 20 lb and I am not sure you can 
just crank it up to 50 psi on the output... not sure how you would purge 
the tire of air before filling it from the tank... maybe just fill and 
empty a couple of times...

Lots of good info on tires as used on RV equipment... just need the time 
and the inclination to read it all....

Good traveling....
