The tt tires say max psi 50. should they be ran at 50 psi or 40 psi which I have been running at.

TT tires should be run at the sidewall max.

This is the BEST advice. Follow it and you will be good to go.

Now get ready,,,,You will have many that may tell you to follow charts.

I think the biggest problem with charts is that most RVers don't know what their rig weighs let alone what load each tire is carrying; and it is not necessarily the total weight divided by the quantity of tires.
I just load mine to the max. cold pressure and if the pressure drops a few psi over a weekend outing I don't worry about it.

If you don't know exactly how much weight you have, be safe and go for the max on the sidewall.
