My Sportsmen Showstopper came with Trailer King ST205/75R 14 tires, load range C (1760lbs at 50psi).
My TT has a GVWR of 6000ibs.
So assuming KZ knows what they are doing, these tires were adequate for this model trailer.
I ran these tires at 50psi religiously.
Recently I decided to get rid of the "China Bombs" and go with a U.S.A. made tire, so I had 4 new Goodyear Endurance ST205/75R 14 tires, load range D (2040lbs at 65 psi) installed. On the side wall of the Goodyear Endurance tires it specifically says "For Max Load Inflate to 65 PSI".
Since the GVWR of my trailer is 6000 lbs (and I am not near that fully loaded) I am nowhere near the max load (2040) of each tire.
So, my question is, do I need to run them at 65psi and if not, how do I determine what pressure I should be running them at?
Thanks for any input.
