Well, I'm getting ready to head home from work. The tires are currently at 65, so they'll have to stay that way going home (about 25 miles). Once home, I'll go ahead and blow them on up to 80 psi and go out for another road test.
Why 55 previously? On my previous 2 TT's I ran 55 psi in all my tires. Never had problems, except for aging and dry rot. First camper, which was about 5000 pounds, second trailer about 7000 pounds. That's the reason why.
Current trailer came from the dealer with 50 psi in the tires. I remember that. Thinking the trailer was heavier (which it is), I pushed it up to 55. Still, at 55, 3 of the tires responded well. Only one did not.
I'll get them up to 80 once home. Thanks everyone!
