Thread: Guys with Glass/Heavy boats single axle trailers

Mine has a tag on the trailer that says inflate to 50 psi but I just run 35 pounds like my truck tires. Never had an issue. I'm not saying it's right it's just what I do.

45 -50 lbs.

Yep

I've run mine from 50 to 90 pounds. The inside and outside edge of both tires wear like super low on air pressure. I was told to get rid of the trailer tires and get radials.

Always use....radial trailer tires.....there is a difference

I have mine at 50 but just doesn't look right. They are loaded rated properly and are radials--just looks lower then they should be when on the road?
I'll just let er bump and see what happens.

50 psi on your trailer tires. If in doubt look on the sidewall and it will tell you max inflation pressure. Should run them there or close to. On mine trailer and tires say 50. I run mine at 45 because of boat weight. No wear visible after 2 years. Check your pressure gauge it could be off.

You are running bias ply tires and that's how they wear. Can't stop it. The also should be run at 50. If you go with new tires get Radial Trailer tires not automotive tires.
