Proper PSI For Trailer Tires?
I'm curious as to what you consider the correct psi, to put into your trailer tires? I have a toy hauler, 28' twin axle. Fully loaded i'm 15 - 16K lbs. The max rating on the tires, is stated at 80psi....

If the max load calls for a LR B tire (35 PSI), but LR C (60 PSI) tires were installed, inflating to the max is probably not the thing to do. It will cause a harsher ride. A LR C tire at 40-50 PSI can provide a compromise between more load capability (margin/safety/longevity/reliability, which can be a separate argument) and an overly harsh ride.TexasChaps wrote:
I run at max cold pressure as stated on the sidewall.. never had a problem.. ever..
Correct !
Car and truck tires are frequently specified at less than their max load pressure, simply because the max load isn't needed.
And, some TTs may be similar - the tire/pressure label is what to go by, not what's marked on the tire sidewall.
