What should I have in my boat trailer tires?
Whatever the max is listed on the tire
More air the cooler they run

I think mine get 45psi
Most people just use air, but If you will fill with helium, you'll get better mileage.
Pffft
Wannabe...
45 to 50 DO NOT RUN THE MAX at summer temps air pressure goes up as it heats and will blow. Did you ever tighten up your guide ons?
Totally disagree with this max air pressure runs the coolest, just dont go over the max.Quote:

If you put in 50 psi in a tire and drive 20 miles in 90 degree heat I gurantee when you stop and check the air pressure it will be 60 or 65 psi. Air expands when heated.
Special Trailer (ST) Tire Speed Ratings
Industry standards dictate tires with the ST designation are speed rated to 65 MPH (104 km/h) under normal inflation and load conditions.
However industry standards also stipulate, if tires with the ST designation are used at speeds between 66 and 75 mph (106 and 121 km/h), it is necessary to increase their cold inflation pressure by 10 psi (69 kPa) above the recommended pressure for the rated maximum load.
Do not exceed the wheel’s maximum rated pressure. If the maximum pressure for the wheel prohibits the increase of air pressure, then maximum speed must be restricted to 65 mph (104 km/h).
The cold inflation pressure must not exceed 10 psi (69 kPa) beyond the inflation specified for the maximum load of the tire.
Increasing the inflation pressure by 10 psi (69 kPa) does not provide any additional load carrying capacity
Most trailers have a tire plate near the hitch. Tire size & cold pressure.
Mine takes 50 psi.
I ran 35 psi when I first got it, wore out a set of tires fast.
I just reread this ignert thread and more specially this post and have determined you jus very well could be lazy, ignert or Super Gewberish or all three. You gewber, you gonna be right there beside the tire when you checkin the pressure, why can't you look at the tire? Surely you ain't gonna do it blindfolded or make Nessa do it. You must be really bored today. You oughta be postin pichurs of headlights fer WB or sumptin.Quote:

Bingo!!! How can you have a boat for what, 3 or 4 years and not know what pressure your tires are rated for? banghead
Torch I said run the max in the tire not 10 pounds over.

I use nitrogen.
Gpt to go get a couple bolts but did tighten everthing else upQuote:

DD ifn you havent packed the bearings, now would be a good time.
Amen, a jack, lug wrench and a spare with air in it would be in order as well. You dont wat the JADA crown back just yet do ya????Quote:

Not having a spare and having to leave your boat on the side of the road and coming back to it being gone might get ya there tho, go get a spare gewber!!!!Quote:

I'm gonna give you the gewber crown if you don't get a spare before you leave town.
I carry all that with me...stays in my truck all the time locked up. I also carry a 12 volt air compressor and tire plugs and tools. Also have a new hub loaded with races, bearings, and seal....pre packed with grease.Quote:

I hereby crown you King Gewber. You be sure to post the details when it all heads south as you are heading south.
So crowned, you are off the hook WB!!!Quote:

DD is your wheel 5 lug 13". If it is I am going to give you a spare. lol
Mine is a 14, if I had a way to get it to him he could borrow it, need it back tho.
have no dang idea LOL I do have a shop jack in my tool box though, Do I get points for that?
I do know that the rims are the same as Tritons. I borrowed his last time I had a flat LOL
:bash:deadhorsebanghead:hatchet:
It's wrote on the side of the tire as well. As far as being 5 lug, count your nuts, multiply by 2 and add 1 and that'll tell ya how many lugs ya got. Pfffft. (That's how I remember what mine is)Quote:
