At anything under the sidewall max I keep questioning if I am at the correct pressure. Am I creating excessive heat due to a lower PSI. Running 110psi is just one less thing that I am thinking about.

Another wise choice.

:B....without a doubt I've destroyed/worn out more tires on trailers of all types in the non RV world than you will ever use in your life time.
I'm making it just fine in the RV world.

You have a good evening! We will just have to agree to disagree!

avvidclif1 brings up a good point. Before everyone get carried away trying to dial in their precise pressure for the exact weight of the trailer have you considered each tire has a different weight?
While we may not know the weight of each tire. I think we do know each tire does not carry the same load/weight. With that in mind is it beneficial to air them to the same specific pressure if they are not carrying the same corresponding weight.
At the end of the day max. PSI is as an effective method to air the tires as any. It is also a lot simpler. Keep an eye on the tires to ensure they are wearing evenly and adjust accordingly. It's really not that complicated....No charts required.
I purchased my Sailun's because I wanted extra capacity not exact capacity.

All tires on an axle should have the same inflation.
You weigh the individual tires to confirm yor MINIMU inflation needs then add 10% so you are not chassing the few psi change you will see due to changes in ambient.

Multi-axle trailers put much more interply shear into the tires which is the force trying to tear the belts off. You can lower this structural force with increased inflation.
You need to confirm you are not exceeding the load or inflation limit for your tires.

"Blowouts" are almsot always caused by running underinflated.

Get & use a TPMS to monitor your tire pressure and be warned of an air leak just as you have oil and water gauges to monitor your engine. If you don't think you need a TPMS ehy do you have engine gauges?

So after spending time on this tire thread and others here is my .02. People are scared. I know I am. There are so many horror stories of blowouts that most of us like to "tread" in the safe zone. I KNOW that at 110psi my Sailuns are safe and should not blow apart. I know that they may ride rough and may have a bit of decreased traction in a emergency situation but they are not going to blow out. At anything under the sidewall max I keep questioning if I am at the correct pressure. Am I creating excessive heat due to a lower PSI.

Call Saliun and talk to their Tech Department tell them exactly what you have done along with your tire/axle weights.. I was not sure what to do when I changed from GY "E" to GY "G" tires so I called their Tech Department and I am sure you have read what they told me.

So those that don't believe me and think that it's fine to make snide remarks look the other way.

I have no problem at all with peoples opinions even if I don't agree or like their statements. What I DO have a problem with is when people start this childish name calling and sniping because they don't agree with what you have to say.

You keep playing the victim and chastising others...so looked back through the replies and found no childish name calling or even a snide remark. Guess I missed all that.


Any how the OP says in part;
**To keep it simple just figured it would be easier to match the tires with the capacity of the 7000 lb axles so the tires were not the weak point. 4 ST E rated tires have a combined capacity of aprox. 13,200 lbs. which is less than the axle capacity and the 14k GVW of the trailer. Understand that part of the trailer weight is picked up by the hitch. I would rather have some over capacity then under capacity or even being close. **

Now for a new guy that shows some good common sense on his part.

Now don't go confusing the tire folks with information contradictory to their opinions......you will be chastised for not bending to their way of thinking.


LOL, story of my life on here lately!"

There seems to be some editing on prior posts. I guess the above would not be called "snide"

I don't "CHASTISE" I give my opinion and if you or anyone else does not like it then keep your remarks to your self.

Yep I ruined my XPS Ribs and R250's over the last ten years running them at first 65 (according to OEM placard for LT235/85R16E tires) then 71 pounds inflation with close to the same weights as the OP! Not!!!! Chris

Jim, would you install GY or Sailun LRG tires on your trailer and run them at 110 lbs inflation? Your trailer is only marginally lighter that the OP's trailer. Mine is very close to the OP weight and there no way I would do that.

The OP trailer would have been find with LT235/85R16E steel ply tires like the Sailun running 80 pounds inflation. The LRG at 80 pounds has the exact same carrying capacity as the LRE of 3042 pounds, which is well over his actual axle weights.

Chris

What he should have used isn't the discussion.
My RV trailer has 5.2k axles and around 2300 lb load per tire so no I wouldn't use a 3750 lb rated tire on my 5th wheel RV trailer.

I also would never again run/ruin a load G tire at 80-85 psi in a trailer position.
The OP made his decision.
