Title: Tire pressure
Post by: John Leyland on September 30, 2016, 12:21:22 AM
My boat is going across the country shortly for Bermuda and was wondering what the optimal tire pressure is on the trailer?

Thanks,
John

The tires on my trailer have a max pressure rating of 65 psi and I usually run them at 45 psi. Tire not too deformed, but not too hard which makes the trailer bounce a bit.

Thanks Steve, I've noticed that the trailer does bounce at the higher pressure.  See you in Bermuda.
Cheers,
John
