I bought my L3800 a couple months ago I checked the air pressure in my tires last night and noticed the previous owner had liquid ballast put in them. My question is what is the air pressure supposed to be with them filled? They are R-4 tires.

You also need to use a tire pressure guage made for tires filled with liquid.
You will destroy a regular tire pressure guages in as little as one use with liquid filled tires. Been there - done that.
