Mike, I saw on Cummins Forum, your/the tire pressure formula.
(Axle weight / 2) / Tire Capacity weight ) x Tire Max Pressure = Infation Pressure.
So my 'normal formula is:
Dual Rating:
((4200 /2) / 3415 x 80 = 49.19 psi
Single Rating:
((4200 /2) /3085 x 80 = 54.45 psi
My question is do you add the load weight over the axle, ie. pin weight, or w/e weight is on the axle? If not, why? The tires still bare that added weight to the truck.
So would the the formula look like this with pin weight of 3000 lbs.?
Single Rating:
((4200 + 3000 /2) / 3085 x 80 = 93.35 psi?
Dual Rating:
((4200+3000/2) / 3415 x 80 = 84.33 psi?
Second, do you use the Single rating or the Dual Rating and why?
