LT Tires
The axle spacing on my 2013 Silverback will not allow LT's to fit. As a matter of fact I found 14 ply ST's and they will not fit. I went with a Maxxis ST. Anyone run into this alxe spacing thing? Two...

fj12ryder JIMNLIN What is Sailun inflation pressure? I thought I saw 110 psi. Are wheels stamped or rated for max psi? 1 inch between wheels, seems really close.
ol Bombero-JC My wheels are stamped 6", tire dealer would not put 245's on my wheel.
The capacity of your wheels is probably stamped into the wheel on the back side, that's where mine was.
I agree with you in theory. But not in practice. I run my tires at max PSI. I see no point in buying a heavy duty G rated tire and the derate it by running less than max. Pressure.
I want the additional load capacity as safety margin. I don't want the tire maxed out or running right at its limits.
I don't have exact weight for each tire. We assume they are carrying equal loads but we know the trailer is not balanced weight wise. Therefore the tires are not carrying equal weight.
Do you weigh each tire and air it accordingly? Is each tire aired to a different pressure that corresponds to its actual scaled load?
In the end I skip the precise weighing and just run tires at max PSI.
I cannot see how running less than max. PSI can be beneficial.
