Tire pressure

[Blue76]

What kind if tire pressure do you guys run on a single axle trailer ?

Do you run max pressure on the sidewall?

I run max pressure as indicated on tire

Me too and a tire pressure monitoring system. Check and keep your pressure up before each trip. If you do then all you have to worry about is not running those china bombs to long on your boat. I have not got more than 3 1/2 years out of my last two sets.

Max inflation is the best key to tire life on trailers.

With a single axle under a glass boat, you are pushing the tire capacity even at max pressure. The tires' weight capacity goes down as pressure goes down, so you want it at max pressure.

I run about 3psi over the maximum tire pressure.

I also have a tire pressure / temp monitoring sensors on my single axle trailer...i run the Maxxis D load range tires @ 65psi....the pressure can get upwards of 70+ psi... Is this ok or should i back down to 60psi cold and let them work thier way up to 65?

The sidewall pressure is cold pressure, so 65 cold is fine, even if it rises hot.
