![]() And they just don't tote a loaded trailer to the tire shop very often. While some of us can inflate our trailer tires at home, we've found most folks cannot. If that tire can live at 65 or so, starting at 80 gives some insurance against a slow leak or neglect. Not to talk out of turn, but most folks don't check pressure very often. So I'm sure there is room to drop it.īut- as a dealer, we recommend running each tire at maximum pressure. Your new BFG will rate at 3,042# per tire, which is 12,168 for all 4, on a trailer that weighs less. But that usually only meant going from 120 or 125 down to 110 PSI. ![]() This became apparent some years ago in the commercial industry when they dropped inflations down to carry the weight, rather than the maximum PSI. Tires that are run overinflated are too stiff, resulting in a harsh ride, and hard on the tire itself as it cannot flex as much on a pothole or curb. For that size tire, there is a chart with weight & inflation pressures needed to carry that weight. Any professional tire person will have a tire factory issued Tire & Rim Data book that will include a chart. ![]() ?I run trailer tires at 65 psi and have never had a problem. Say a 2005 Dodge 3/4 t recommends 65 psi on the front, just because you put a max rated 80 psi tire on it does not mean you automatically change the manufacturers recommend tire pressure. ?The trailer manufacturer would be the one to recommend a pressure not the tire manufacturer.
