Not trying to put anyone on the spot here. And Jeff posted some great articles in other threads in this forum back in 2004.
But in practice, I am wondering what some people are running as I am considering a change on my trailer.
With my OEM supplied Load Boss tires (ST 235/85-R16 load range G), I kept them at their max cold rate of 110 PSI.
Looking at my actual tire loading (trailer 4 from the image in the 2006 Rally Trailer Weights post), my door-side loading is the lightest with both tires at 2925. The off-door-side is 3075 (front axle) and 3150 (rear axle).
Using the guidline from load/inflation tables of inflating all tires to the load of the heaviest loaded tire, I would target 3150.
That said, looking at the attached load/inflation table for single wheel configuration, could I really run at 85 PSI? While I would love to run at a softer inflation for maybe a better riding rear-end of the coach, I am thinking it is not a good idea.
Maybe adding 10% and running at 94 PSI?? Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Jim
