Boat trailer tire question

What psi should I have in my boat trailer tires? I believe on the side of the tire it says Max 55 PSI but to me that seems a lot

45-50 depending on how much your going to load in boat. Most trailers with your size tires will say 50.

Should note on the tire a cold PSI rating as well. Mine call for 55 max, and 50 cold. I put 50 in mine (cold) at the shop prior to the trip and roll with em'. Air pressure expands in a hot tire specially in hotter months, dang sure don't want to overfill one!

Says 50 psi cold on them. Just looked. We're gonna have it loaded down heading to the coast. Both Kayaks, fishing gear, cookervor 2. All kinds of stuff. Put 2 new tires on the truck today to. Nexum Radium A/T I think. Hurt paying $315 for 2 tires. Lol

50 psi will be fine

Also....most trailer tires (ST rating) are only rated up to 65 MPH......Goodyear just came out with an ST tire which is good up to 75 MPH.....

As I approach Geezer status, I'm good at 65 mph. Plenty fast for me. Lol

65 is cruising, thanks for posting the link to the endurance tires. Blew one out Saturday morning, thank goodness for a tandem axle trailer. Prolly replace 2 at a time. I check tires and hubs everyone I stop, just touch em to check for heat, simple habit that will save you some heartache on the side of the road.
Got to get me a cordless impact, thanks Torch for loaning me yours Saturday, made changing a tire a snap

I second checking hubs/bearings BEORE heading out. I didn't and it almost cost me an axle, hub and could have cost me the boat or more. Got home from an outing with my daughter and couple her friends and backing into drive I caught a whiff of hot grease. Looked and tire was almost to fall off.
