Tire pressure??

Max them out to the rating on the side wall is our suggestion. BCB

What is recommended on the sidewall of the tire is general rule of thumb.96 Eyra/12 Mercury 175 Pro XS with 2015 single axle trailer2017 Victory Gunner

OK that is 44 pounds. Thanks, all were low. One of those things we all need to check for both good pulling and safety! You really cannot see when a tire is low unless it has 11 pounds!

Its good to know that most trailer tire failures are caused by low tire air pressure. Low pressure will cause the tire to heat more and may cause them to blow out. Also, if you only had 11 lbs of pressure in them, they are below atmospheric pressure and may leak past the bead when submerged allowing water to get into the tire. This water may cause premature rotting of the tire casing. Just my $.02.

It was not driven with the pressure that low. Been sitting in the basement all winter! I checked it again and it was down about 10 so I will check the stem for leak, but probably has a puncture. Great thing is that is why I got a spare and an air pump!! Since most gas stations no longer have “free” air (or any air!) having everything at home for tire maintenance is the way to go.
