Just some more tid bits
Those were not my actual trailer tire pics above. But maybe tomorrow Ill get a pic of the actual tires so you all can see what 5000 miles has them looking like..
Im really pissed now. Im looking at kenda karriers that I had put on my onld camper. I thought they were good. But just the 3 years ago I did that they were only 65 mph tires..Although only 13"/..
Now looking what they offer in my 205 74 14 they show an 81 mph... ok good..
But low and behold, a 60 psi tire with a 1900 lbs rating....
What gives!!!! with this psi nonsense..
I also been reading and it would seem the PSI dictates the speed rating.. So if I lowered the psi I dont think they are rated the same speed..
I say this becuase my GY marathons I had were 65 mph rated. But GY stated if you run 10 psi more they rate them to 75 mph...
This is such BS..

GY added inflation bulletin.And ironically the added psi does not add additional load capacity...

also says this for the valve stem gurus...

Tubeless snap-in type valves, depending on the type valve, are rated for a
maximum inflation pressure of 65 or 80 psi for nominal 0.453” diameter valve
holes. If a higher cold inflation pressure is used, a clamp-in valve such as TR416S
valve (200 psi maximum inflation) must be installed
