I always go to the manufacture's website to get the best information on my tires. In the case of Michelin it is: http://www.michelinman.com/tire-care/tire-saving-tips/air-pressure-tips/ to see what is recommended there. I have found that the tech's don't always give you the accurate info but rather their own opinions and what they are "told" to recommend by the company for which they work. When I take my vehicle in for service, some tech always changes the air pressure to what they believe is the best pressure and it often doesn't coincide with what I have found on the manufacturer's site. That is one reason that I have my own compressor and do my own checks before each outing.

Jayco's recommendation on the passenger door says I should inflate my front tires to 65 psi and the back tires to 80 psi. The dealer said I should inflate the tires to the tire manufacturer's recommendation ( which is 80PSI). The local Michellin authorized tire tech says that 70 psi in the front and 75 psi in the back is optimal. So what is the safest PSI to fill them to? I have a Jayco Melbourne (love it).
