Expert Answers about Chevrolet Tire Inflator


  • Best Tire Inflator for Travel Trailer Tires
  • Yes, and to inflate your travel trailer tires I do recommend the Viair Portable RV Air Compressor Kit for 5th Wheels and Travel Trailers - 150 psi - 2.30 cfm # VA39WR. This can inflate up to 150 psi, so this will give that extra psi that some tires need in order to properly support weight.

  • Is It Okay To Inflate Tires To 60 When They Are Rated For 80 PSI
  • No, you always want your trailer tires to be inflated to the max PSI listed on the sidewall regardless of traveling .When you inflate them to their max PSI they are able to maintain their load capacity so that they are not overloaded. Overloading the tires can lead to excess heat which is the number one reason for tire failure. The PSI increasing a little when you are traveling is not going to matter as long as your staying within the limits of the tire such as load range, and speed rating....

  • What Does Cold Mean When Inflating Trailer Tire to Max Rating When Cold
  • Trailer tires have max PSI ratings which they need to be inflated to when the tire is "cold." Cold means when the trailer is inactive enough that the tire is now the same temperature as the ambient air. It does not mean the tire needs to be cooled in any way. Typically it's easiest to check and inflate tires first thing in the morning or before the trailer has moved for the day and that would be the correct "cold" reading.

  • How Much Pressure Should I Inflate My New Load Range E Trailer Tires To
  • It is always recommended to inflate most trailer tires to max PSI because it extends their life, cuts down on wear and allows them to be used at the maximum weight capacity. If the new tire has a max PSI of 80 then it is best to inflate the tire to 80 PSI. An exception to that rule is if the tire is a Goodyear Endurance Tire. The Goodyear Endurance is designed so the maximum weight capacity of the tire decreases with a lower PSI in the tire but the quality of the tire will not be affected....

  • Does Outside Temperature Affect If Trailer Tire Gets Max PSI Figure
  • Yes, regardless of the temperature outside you do need to inflate trailer tires like the part # AM10295 to the max PSI listing on the sidewall. So if your tire calls for 65 as max PSI you'd need to go with that number regardless of temperature.

  • Can Air Lift Compressor Kit AL25854 be Used to Inflate Tires on a 2015 Toyota Tacoma 4x4
  • The compressor systems such as # AL25854 are not rated for tire inflation as they come. What I recommend is a system that is designed for exactly what you want to do. These systems come with separate air tanks and coiled inflation hoses. The most cost effective model is from Firestone, # F2047, and it will work with the Air Lift air bag systems for your 2015 Toyota Tacoma 4x4. The Air Lift kit for your 4x4 Tacoma is # AL59561. Please note this system will not fit Pre-Runner models.

  • What Rim Widths Compatible with Taskmaster ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire TTWTRTM2358016E
  • Yes, the load range E Taskmaster ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire # TTWTRTM2358016E will fit a 16x6-inch-wide rim such as # TA73VR. This tire also fits wider 16-inch rims: 6-1/2-inch, 7-inch and 7-1/2-inch. When mounted and fully inflated the overall diameter of this tire will be just under 31-inches. The Taskmaster ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire # TTWTRTM2358016E provides a load capacity of 3520-lbs at 80-psi. It also carries an M speed rating, which means a maximum speed of 81-mph. Trailer...

  • Tire Inflator For Stock Tires on Jeep Wrangler
  • While we do have a tire inflator that will work for you, I checked with Bulldog Winch, and their Bulldog Winch Light Duty On-Board Air Compressor # BDW46TJ is not ideal for tires, it is for things like air horns. Instead, I recommend a different option from Bulldog Winch that is designed for tires: - Bulldog Winch Portable Air Compressor # BDW41003 The # BDW41003 is for tires up to 33 inches, which your Wrangler will have for stock tires, and it will be able to inflate them from 10 -...

  • Should I Inflate Cold Tire to Maximum PSI to Allow for Heat Buildup
  • You are correct, Kenda Karrier # 10235 is rated for 75 PSI. It is always recommended to inflate trailer tires to max psi because it extends their life, cuts down on wear and allows them to be used at the maximum weight capacity. You should inflate your tires to this max psi of 75 when cold, they have already accounted for heat build up.

  • Why is Trailer Tire Wearing on the Inside Only?
  • A wider tire will not solve the issue of your tires wearing down on the inside only. If your trailer tire is wearing on the inside but is not overloaded and your suspension is aligned properly the only other issue that can be causing this is the tires not being inflated to their max psi consistently. On trailer tires you always want to inflate the tire to the maximum cold psi, which will give you the best performance, allowing the tire to wear more slowly and give you optimum gas mileage....

  • Recommendation For Fast Filling Portable Air Inflator For Large Truck And Trailer Tires
  • For a fast filling and durable portable air compressor, I recommend the Slime Pro Power Tire Inflator, Item # SLM40031. The Slime Pro is a heavy duty air inflator that has a thermal break feature to prevent overheating and is great for SUV and truck applications. It includes a bright LED light for night time needs, will inflate a standard tire in 3 minutes, and has a PSI range of 0-150. It also has a 10 foot power cord and a 16 foot coiled air hose which gives you a total reach of 26...

  • Tru Flate Wall Mounted Tire Inflator Compatibility With Wall Mounted Air Compressor Hose
  • The Tru-Flate Wall-Mounted Tire Inflator - 110 psi - 120 Volts # 16-250 has a standard tire valve size fitting coming out the bottom where the coil hose attaches. The other end of the hose has a 1/4 inch male NTP fitting and then the valve assembly. If your wall mounted air compressor hose fits either of these fittings, then you can absolutely use it.

  • Should Trailer Tires be Inflated to Their Max PSI
  • With trailer tiers like the # AM3H490 you need to run them at their max psi like in this case 90 psi. This ensures you get the full weight capacity of the tire as well as prevent heat build up that can cause tire failure.

  • Is It Safe To Mix Load Ranges on Tires and Does It Cause Excessive Vibration
  • Running two different load rated tires can cause a lot of stress on the tires of your trailer and uneven tire wear. We always recommend to inflate tires to their max PSI to avoid heat build up. If you are running both tires at the lower PSI it is causing more wear on the load range E tires that are designed to be inflated to 80 max PSI. I cannot say for sure that having mixed load ranges on your trailer is causing vibration however if one tire is larger than the other it is definitely...

  • Tire Inflation Kit for LTV 2021 Unity on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Chassis
  • The Wheel Masters 2-Hose Inflation Kit # # WM8002 will work for your RV. It is designed to fit 16 - 19-1/2 Inch dual tires, which from what I was able to find the Sprinter chasis has 16" wheels. You would need to pick up a 130 degree valve extender. The 130 degree isn't a popular degree, the closest we have is the Wheel Masters Tire Pressure Valve Extenders - 135-Degree Bend # WM8029135 which provides you with 135 degrees.

  • Special Trailer Tires to Replace 155R12 Radials on Boat Trailer
  • Radial type special trailer tires will tend to run smoother (and cooler) than bias ply tires since they offer more flex and better ground contact, thanks to their softer side walls. However passenger car tires should not be used on any trailer application. Special trailer, or ST tires, are the only type of tire that should be mounted on a boat trailer (with few exceptions) since they are made to handle the vertical loads from trailers. The equivalent tire size to your 155R12 is a 5.30-12....

  • What is the Largest 10 Inch Trailer Tire
  • The ST205/65-10 is the largest size for 10 inch trailer tires. If yours are busting it may be that you do not have the proper load range or that they aren't filled to the proper psi. The highest load range capacity for this size tire is the Loadstar K399 Bias Trailer Tire - 205/65-10 - Load Range E # AM1HP56 which has a 1,650 lbs capacity when inflated to its maximum 90 psi. You will want to get trailer tires that, when combined, exceed the capacity of your trailer's GVWR; for example,...

  • Can Air Lift Load Controller Compressor System Be Used to Inflate Tires
  • The Air Lift Load Controller Compressor System for Air Helper Springs # AL25856 can be used to fill up tires if you add another line, but it's not really designed for that purpose on its own as it is meant to monitor and adjust to air bags. So instead what you'll want to use is the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL27DQ. This uses the same type of compressor but it comes with a reserve tank as well as a fitting to connect to for filling up tires and other air-inflated things...
