Kumho 857s, pressure?
Just put new Kumho 857s on my trailer, 205 14 Wondering what tire pressure other folks are running them at. Thanks.

Unless you over tired the trailers axle rating and the wheels pressure capacity its advised to run the tires max sidewall pressure.
Please educate me. Where does this come from? Is it just a trailer tire thing? Sidewall on my truck tires say 44 lbs MAXIMUM, but door jamb sticker says 35 lbs.
Ever since the tire issues Ford had back in the 90's with Firestone tires on the Explorer, I go with the tire sidewall.
Ford had a different pressure on the door sticker than Firestone had on the sidewall. Of course Firestone blamed Ford and Ford blamed Firestone for all of the tire failures that caused the wrecks.
The tire sidewall pressure gives you the maximum load capacity for the tire, a lower pressure reduces the load capacity.
