tire pressure



well trailer wheels all depends on what kind of
trailer it is (ie: flat bed, short trailer, horse
trailer, how many wheels on it, doe it have a
suspension or is a straigt axle, and what load are you
expecting to put in/on it.

example # 1
I have a horse trailer (2K lbs empty 4 wheels, ful
suspension and brake system, loaded with 2 horses we
are looking at 4-4200 lbs, but I have class D tires on
it, so they are inflated to 40lbs each.\

Example #2
4x8 trailer, spring supension weight 300 lbs, 2 wheels
and hauls 1700lb, the tires are d rated on it, so the
pressure is 35 lbs.

rocco trailer (to be completed) with have standard car
tires 13" wheels and only carries 500lbs, it will be
30-33lbs on pressure.

it all depends..
