I know there has been  few threads on this but below is an email from Michelin regarding the Agilis camping tyres I got from another site.  It was the same advice given to me via a chat.

 

Thank you for contacting MICHELIN Customer Service,

Regarding your query, we only have the pressure recommendation for our MICHELIN Agilis Camping.

The pressure recommendation for the rear (single) axle of a motor-home running on the MICHELIN Agilis Camping is 80 PSI. This is due to the construction of the tyre with 2 casing plies enabling the use of higher pressures.

It’s construction and the use of higher pressures is designed to cope with continual heavy loads sometimes found on motor-homes and can help with wear pattern issues, if lower pressures are used particularly on the rear axle.

The front tyres however can be adjusted down to a pressure of 65 PSI for a more comfortable ride and optimum performance.

Here are some safety points to be taken into account when it comes to tyre

pressures:

 

1. Always check the pressures when the vehicle tyres are cold. We consider

the tyres being cold if they haven’t been used for at least 2 hours of it

they have rolled less than 4 km at low speed. If the tyres are not under

this conditions they are considered to be hot.

2. When the tyres are hot you should always add 4,4 PSI to the recommended

pressure.

3. Please remember - Never deflate a hot tyre!

I hope this information was helpful and please do not hesitate to contact

us again if you have any further questions or concerns. We are happy to help.

 

 Kind regards,Dora

Tyre pressures are not only determined by axle load. Vehicle handling also plays a part. Raising the rear tyre pressures, or lowering those at the front, will correct oversteer and the opposite will correct understeer. In addition, some manufacturers recommend increasing tyre pressures simply to reduce fuel consumption.
