need opinions on tire pressures

Funny thing is I have been running a set of Endurance on my own trailer for a couple of months now and haven't noticed that "harsher ride" you speak of...

Do you ride in your trailer often? In the US, that's illegal in most states.

Exactly my point. The only reason you'd care about a "harsher ride" is if you later found trailer contents tossed about, otherwise it's an irrelevant issue. I haven't, but what I have noticed is how much better the trailer tows with these new GY Endurance tires cold inflated to their maximum rating. :B As I recall the OP claims he runs his trailer with a GVW of ~ 6000 lbs ... mine averages 1200 lbs less @ ~ 4800 lbs so if I don't experience a "harsh ride" certainly he won't either - it's a bogus claim by those who don't even own a set. :S

Since there is absolutely no foundation whatsoever to the claim that these tires run "harsh" at that pressure what other advantage is there in running at lower pressure and therefore less load capability? None. :R

Most people have experienced the obvious change in ride after inflating a car tire which was low on air. Apparently, you haven't.

Of course I have, the ride firms up - but that doesn't by definition automatically mean it becomes "harsh". I run my own truck tires at 40 p.s.i., just below their maximum cold inflation rating of 44 p.s.i., for the exact reason that it's far less "mushy", both when towing and not. If the ride was "harsh" I wouldn't - it's not, it's exactly the feel I prefer. Now we have armchair pundits who don't even own a set of these new GY Endurance tires proclaiming that running a set at their manufacturer approved maximum rating will result in a harsh ride - RUBBISH. :R
