Steve's correct -- he always filled tires to the sidewall maximum.

Doing that brought me a while ago in trouble, the mechanic filled the front tires at 83 PSI ... driving around corners became a vibrating, ratteling adventure!
Going straight went to searching where do we go to now ....

But before I discovered that .... it took a while. Back to the requierd pressure, all was normal again, smooth driving.
To low pressure is dangerous, but to much can also be.

Keeping the thread drift going, overinflating also shrinks the amount of tire area in contact with the pavement, and that increases stopping distance. Not to mention causing more wear in the center of the tread, which means that part will get bald sooner, and you have to replace tires more often. Underinflating results in sidewall degradation, which can mean a blowout, plus more wear on the tread sides, which causes you to buy tires more often.

Keep your tires in the sweet spot for the load on them: http://gmcmotorhome.info/tires.html#PSI
