Good morning all,
I have a Trail-Rite trailer. I use it to launch the boat in the Spring and haul it out in the Fall. I was wondering what should be the correct tire pressure. It is currently at 20psi which is most likely too low. I do not seem to be able to locate the maximum tire pressure indicated on the side of the tire.Thank you for your help.

I concur with the article and generally watch the tire wear on my vehicle tires - outside vs. center wear. The trailer is a bit different animal as it spends most of its time stationary. Sedentary tires can develop flat spots and sidewall breakdown if underinflated - especially if loaded. In fact, the trailer tire life expectancy is ~5years due to the type of and lack of use. Bottom line for all of us is to be attentive, and use common sense.

Not to dismiss your choice to keep your tires at max tire pressure. Here is an explanation on what tire pressure is best. It talks about auto tires, the principal is the same. https://www.kaltire.com/en/about-tire-pressure.html" target="_blank"> https://www.kaltire.com/en/about-tire-pressure.html

Noted. Thanks.

You have to remember that the max load and tire pressure that is on the tire is what the tire is rated for, not what is specified for the trailer.

My '95 Trail-Rite trailer says 35 PSI. The tire pressure is on the VIN plate.
