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

When we bought our Kumhos there was a chart on Tire Rack that showed different pressures for different rated tires by weight carried.
I'm sorry, I haven't been able to find that chart this morning or I would link to it. Our tires max pressure is 65 lbs. The plate on the side of our trailer says 35 lbs. According to that above mentioned chart and as a sort of in-between point I put in 44.
Why put in less than on the sidewall? Because the ride is less bouncy and I'm not sure the rims will take that much pressure.
We have a TPMS and the trailer tires raise in temperature the same as the truck tires (which also are not aired to the max on the sidewall).
Hope this helps...
