Overloading Tires

Of course, the loading is determined by the load rating based on inflation.
The nominal load rating is based on full inflation (80 psi for Load Range
E, as we usually use).

Looking at Goodyear's chart, the maximum load for a light truck tire at 80
psi is 2680 pounds (65 mph top speed). Last I weighed my coach, it was 5725
pounds on the rear. Half of that is 2862, which overloads a fully inflated
E-range tire by 7%. So, if I was facing that eventuality, and had the
capability to lift a dead tire, I would first put the dead tire on the
middle axle (to move the pivot point back and increase the load on the
front tire), and then inflate the good tire to 80 psi. Then, I would go
slow for the minimum possible time (Goodyear recommends no faster than 55
for a 9% overload). Since I don't have those capabilities, I won't worry
about it. :)

I usually run 50 psi in the rear. According to the chart, the maximum rear
tire weight of 1500 pounds for my early, lightweight coach needs 40 psi,
and I add 10 psi for higher speeds, per their chart. At that pressure, the
65mph-limited load is 1765. 2862 is a 65% overload, for which Goodyear
recommends a 10 psi increase in pressure and a 14 mph speed limit. But
because the tire is well below it's rated pressure, I can increase it to 80
psi and have only a 7% overload.

If my rear weight was 2000 pounds per tire (8000 pounds total on the rear),
Goodyear wants me to run 55 psi in the rear, plus the 10 psi for high
speeds. 4000 pounds on one tire (with the other lifted) would be a 50%
overload of an E-range tire at 80 psi. Goodyear suggests I can carry that
load if I inflate the tire above its maximum rated inflation by 10 psi and
limit my speed to 14 mph.

Here's the Goodyear chart, which includes advice for overloads:

OPERATING A GMC ON LESS THAN FOUR REAR WHEELS/TIRES

REFERENCE: GMC Motorhome Operating Manual X-7821A Page 1 - IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON VEHICLE LOADING.

http://www.bdub.net/manuals/X7821A.zip

GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) represents the maximum permissible loaded weight of the vehicle.

26 foot GMC GVWR = 12,500 lbs

GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) the maximum weight that the axle can carry.

26 foot GMC GAWR

GAWR = 4,500 lbs Front Wheels
GAWR = 8,000 lbs Rear Wheels

REFERENCE: Tire Load Range: http://bdub.net/gmcmotorhome.info/tires.html

Tire Load Range: The max load a tire can carry and the pressure required to carry that load.

D load range max load @ 65 PSI = 2,235 pounds

E load range tire max load @ 80 psi = 2,680 pounds

COMMENTS:

The weight distribution per tire would be dependant on the how much pressure was supplied to the air bag supporting the remaining
tire. For ease of calculations we'll divide the rear GAWR of 8,000 lbs as noted above by four which results in a load per tire of
2,000 lbs. Operating the GMC with one wheel removed the load on the remaining tire would double; going from 2,000 to 4,000 lbs. This
is an overload of 1,765 pounds (~79%) on a D range tire at the maximum pressure of 65 psi and an overload of 1320 pounds (~49%) on
an E load range tire at the maximum pressure of 80 psi. If the tires are not inflated to the pressures noted in the previous
sentence the overload would be even higher.

CONCLUSION:

If you drive your GMC with less than four rear tires supporting the load you WILL be operating the GMC with OVERLOADED TIRE(S) and
OVERLOADED WHEELS!

I never recommend INTENTIONALLY driving your quad bag equipped coach on 3
tires, EXCEPT to move it and your family out of harms way. We recently had
one of our members coaches totaled, and one family member injured enough to
require an ambulance ride to an emergency hospital, by an oncoming vehicle
colliding with their coach when it was pulled over on the shoulder of the
freeway with the emergency flashers on. Drive it that way only far enough
to remove it from harms way, NO FURTHER.

I had a chance to have an extended discussion with Roger after his presentation at an FMCA rally. He is an interesting fellow.
We really do have much the same situation as a coach with a conventional dual rear wheel wheel, but ours are just tandem instead of dual.

Yes Richard, you and I might just survive pulling that trick, but coaches as light as ours are not common.

I agree with limp it to saftey out of harms way. Worst case you replace 2 tires instead of one (flat plus overloaded tire) which is better than
personal injury or accident. I have Firestone bags so not an option for me.

Ken,

As the guy that bent one of your plates I was going to bring it up.

Another thing, you showed me the failed bogie that came off Double Trouble when Skip and Mary Newhouse owned it. IIRC the bottom on
one side had cracked away from the vertical part that bolts to the frame right where the bottom joins the vertical part.

I attributed that to someone using something stiffer between the bogie arm and the bogie when the coach was jacked up.

This is one Whatsisname cut out of a truck spring.. I ran the coach around the block using it without problems, leads me to believe I could make it to
the next exit without problems as long as it was done very slowly. I signed up for the $70 roadside deal from FMCA anyway - at least I can argure
them off the road to some resting place should the need arise.

Ken,

I did find two aluminum blocks in Double Trouble when I got it. They were "witness marks" on both of them where something had "dug" into them pretty well!

Now I have "manifolds" on both air bags from Dave Lenzi:

http://www.bdub.net/lenzi/index.html

As you can see they have shutoff valves, tire valve stems, and gages. I can shutoff the air supply and bleed the pressure out of the bags easily when I have a flat tire.

Those are undoubtedly Warner blocks -- bad juju.

Leigh Harrison supplied a manifold for each side with a ball valve for it
and another for each bag, plus a gauge and a Schrader valve. Most mounted
that in the wheel well. I moved mine to the Generator and "Propane"
compartments so I can reach them when the bags are down.

Single sided spacer block? Do you mean a block that only works on one side
at a time?
I've got a block from Tom and use it to lift both bogies simultaneously.
It's a piece of Aluminum barstock 3/4 x 6 x ~2.5".
What's the problem with this? (if it's what you're referring to)

I also have bent a very substantial piece of bar stock with the bogies. I
don't use them any more since I installed my wireless air system. Those air
bags will put an incredible amount of force on anything you put in their
way, especially with the lever action of the bogies.

Billy,

The aluminum blocks I saw from Tom were not long enough to support both
arms simultaneously. The load on the bottom of the bogie increases as the
distance from the contact point on the support device decreases, so a very
short bar REALLY loads the bogie bottom.
