These two stickers were on the drivers side door panel right next to
each other.-a Seems to me they are contradicting each other, with one
saying the front should be 58 and back 61, and the other front 61 and
the back 58.-a I think the white one is right with the front at 58 and
backs at 61.

The black one looks like it might be from Mercedes, so I'll get the
book and see if it says anything on this.

If it were me, I'd put 60 in all of them, and then start measuring tread depth across the tires. After all, how cold is cold, how accurate is
your gauge, and how much difference can 3 psi really make to safety or handling? Unless maybe you're going to spend some time on a road course track with a max load.

60 would probably work just fine.
When I'm getting ready to take off on a long trip though, I do try and
get the tire pressures right, especially having the same across both
sides. I think Winnebago probably did some testing and decided on the 58F/61R and that's what I set them at.-a The tires have a max of 80 lbs.
You are also correct about the accuracy of gauges.-a My inflation tool
I found out is about 2 lbs. low on accuracy.-a I was getting early wear
and cupping on my Harley.-a I used to get 15K out of a set of tires,
then I was only getting 10K and the howling was nerve racking.-a First
time I got new tires I also replaced the wheel bearings for safety.
Next set same thing, only 10K miles.-a That's when I figured out I had
been under filling them about 2 lbs.-a Once I adjusted that I'm back to
15K for a set of tires on the bike.
Talking to my brother who has a bigger type A, he was running his at
80 lbs. and it felt spongy to him.-a A mechanic told him to go to 100
lbs and it would be better.-a He said it fixed the ride and even gave
him about 2 mpg more on his fuel economy.-a That sounds awful high to
me, but I don't know what his tires are rated for.
I did check the Mercedes manual, and I'll be darned it does kind of
look like the pressures on the black image are what they recommend.
But this is for an application of a sprinter type business van, and
not an RV. So I'll go with what Winnebago says.

I'm gonna guess that the Mercedes is as it comes from THEIR factory,
and the other is as it is final built ... but 60 over all might be a
good as either

You could weigh it and then set pressures at the tire manufacturers recommendation. Probably the best starting point. To BillrCOs point, a tread gauge and visual inspection, after establishing your baseline, is the way
to go.
On the other hand, if you follow current rCLwisdomrCY, you will be replacing the tires after four or five years anyway so, within reason, go with what gives you the best ride.

For future reference, any of you guys do tire rotation if wear is even?
