RE: #2) I have always aired my tires to the max on the side wall. I have yet to experience any slippage of the trailer due to not gripping the road very well. I have also yet to have the center of the tire wear out pre-maturely.
Re: #1) I don't ever plan on going to a scale and weighing each trailer tire in order to know how much air to put in it. You can't take the overall weight of the trailer and divide by 4 to determine the tire inflation amount. Weight for each tire may vary.rbpru wrote:
Tire inflation 101:
1. Tires are inflated to match the load being hauled.
2. Over inflated tires do not grip the road as well and will wear out the center of the tire.
3. Under inflated tires will overheat and tend to show cupping on the edges.
4. The correct tire inflation pressure to match the load comes from the tire maker, not someone opinion on an RV bulletin board.
LOL, no kidding! What are some of your doing with your TTers? Road racing with them?
