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.
quite right, but you will find that most OEM specified trailer tires are marginal at best.. hence all the talk of upgrading to larger sizes and or LT tires.. my TT for example has the same pressure on the sticker as the tire.. so on stock tires I would prefer a "harsher" ride than under inflated tires..
