Just wondering what people usually run for pressure in their trailer tires. I had the tread on a tire just “give way” on a trip last week. It was a 4 hour trip…but it gave out in the first 1/2 hour. The tread just separated and the tire basically just failed. Luckily…we felt the vibration early and nothing exciting happened! Anyway….this is the 3rd boat I have owned and I have not had one fail before. I have been running 40 PSI in my tires on a Karavan roller trailer that carries a 2001 Lund Mr. Pike 16. The tires looked in very good condition and looked to have a ton of life left in them so this was a complete surprise. I now have 2 new radial trailer tires on board….and just want to run the right pressure. They say max pressure of 50 PSI…but had been told by someone that 40 would be good. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian
