My Carlilse say max 70 psi. Scared to go that high, thoughts?
I have Carlisle radial trailer tires and they say max load 2830lbs at 80 (yep) psi. Would you run them that high? I know tire says it but I've never run a tire that high psi.
Just had a blowout again today on the way home from fishing. Single axle with a heavy Stratos. Thank you for this information.
That spec is always measured cold.
Some interesting reading on ST tires I ran across today.....http://www.carlstargroup.com/cms_fil..._Practices.pdf
The speed rating is what throws me. 87 mph. 101 mph?
The manager at my local tire store (known him for years) recommended replacing my trailer tires with passenger car radials of the same size. They're better quality with higher load rating, more road contact, track/balance better,etc. Downside is they're a little more expensive but not having to worry about trailer tires is well worth it.
I have 215/75 R14 tires on my dual axle on my Ranger trailer. These are trailer tires only. I have always kept about 35psi in the tires. The above discussion about air pressure caught my attention so I checked the tires and it states on the tire max is 50 psi. wow is that right?
I can attest to that with the Goodyear Marathons...
I run 40-42psi on my dual axle with a 21footer.
Trailer rides smoother and no issues with heat.
