Have any of you upgraded your tires yet? I had a blowout on the way home from Glamis and am looking for replacements...Luckily there was no damage. Also, I looked for a PSI rating on the wheel and was unable to find one. I have been running 80PSI.
PSI on the WHEEL..as in the rim? I've never seen one. You should ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS run the trailer tires at the maximum COLD PSI stated on the TIRE sidewall. All tires have this stated, usually kind of small, but it's there. Every brand and model will be slightly different. I have two different models of Green Ball tires. One requires 80 PSI, the other takes 85 PSI. The tire is rated for it's maximum weight rating at the specified PSI measured cold. It will go up after driving. That is normal and okay. Having your tires even a few PSI low greatly effects the weight carrying capacity and the wear. It is unsafe to run at lower PSI. Sorry for the caps. I'm not being mean, just want to point out a very important point.
Yes, the wheel. You don't want to put a 110 PSI tire (Goodyear G114) on an 80 PSI wheel.
