Does anybody know the suggested tire pressure for a MX trailer (single axle in my case) I heard 60 psi, just trying to verify…

What does the tire say? I would guess in the 50 to 60 lb ballpark but would see what the tire recommends for your load.

Agree. I think it may depend on the tire. If memory serves me correct I thought Goodyear Marathon’s max psi is 50 (marathons came on my trailer). Kuhmo 857s on my previous trailer seemed to have had max load of 60 psi.

Tires also should not be over 5 years old. I replace mine after 4 seasons just to be on the safe side. Had one blow out that was 3 years old once. Tread came off and tore the fender completely off the trailer. Still had 42 lbs. of air in the junk tire. All that was left was the carcass.May 19, 2016 at 6:29 am #1620287This information is supplied by the trailer mfg and is usually found on a decal/label affixed to the inside of the trailer rail (front). In the case of my 2012 MX1825 with a single axle trailer it is 50PSI.
