When inflating trailer tires the recommendation is to inflate the tire to the max tire pressure listed on the sidewall when the tires are cold. So if your max pressure is 65 then that is what you would need to inflate to when cold. The increased pressure when hot is normal.
If you don't inflate to max pressure the tires will not get their full capacity and heat will build up which will cause premature failure. view full answer...
With the Tru-Flate Wall-Mounted Tire Inflator # 16-250 you'll want to set the pressure you want and then with each new tire you inflate it will reset and inflate it to correct PSI once connected. It would not require turning off and on with each tire.
It's like if you go to a gas station air pump and you select the PSI you want you can go from tire to tire and it fills them till the PSI is reached and then stops. view full answer...
Special trailer tires should be inflated to their maximum air pressure. The value for the maximum air pressure should be listed along with the value for the maximum load on the tire's sidewall. These values will usually designate the maximum load at a maximum psi. For example, if the tire is rated at 1,105 lbs maximum at 50 psi, the tire can carry 1,105 lbs of weight if the air pressure is at the maximum of 50 psi. At the maximum air pressure, the tires will perform and wear best, and get... view full answer...
It's possible that other manufacturers have different guidelines for their specific trailer tires, but all of our trailer tire manufacturers recommend always inflating their tires to the maximum psi as listed on the sidewall. The reason for this is that a trailer tire features a thicker, stronger sidewall that allows it to carry its specified maximum load. This load capacity is only reached when the tire is inflated to the maximum psi, while under-inflating the tire essentially reduces... view full answer...
Trailer tires need to be inflated to the max psi rating listed on the tire sidewall. You will want to inflate them when cold.
We don't carry the specific tire you have so we don't have the info, but it will be listed on the side of the trailer sidewall.
Failure to inflate the tire to the max psi will cause heat build up and loss of tire weight capacity. view full answer...
When inflating trailer tires you want to inflate them to the max PSI rating when they are cold. So your tires should be inflated to 65 when cold and you'll be set. You wouldn't have to worry about heat causing excess pressure in the tires unless you were exceeding the speed rating or weight rating.

You are correct. It is recommended that tires be inflated to the max PSI when cold to reach maximum capacity as well as for safety.
You should inflate your Kenda Karrier ST205/75R14 - Load Range D, # AM10235 to 75 psi for a per tire capacity of 2,200 lbs. view full answer...
Trailer tires should always be inflated to the maximum air pressure indicated on the tire. The tire on tire and wheel combo # AM30620 for example should be at 90 psi.
The reason that you inflate trailer tires to the max is because trailer tires are built with a thicker sidewall to handle more vertical load. If the tires are under inflated, because of that thicker sidewall it will cause them to generate excessive heat. Heat is the number one enemy of tires.

Special trailer tires should be inflated to their maximum air pressure. At the maximum air pressure, the tires will perform and wear best, and get the best gas mileage. The Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire # AM3H430 has a maximum load carrying capacity of 1,320 pounds at maximum inflation of 70 psi.
If the tire is over-inflated, it will wear more in the center of the tread, all the way around the tire.
Even in warm weather the psi will not increase that much. Always make sure the tires... view full answer...
Yes, a valve stem like the Americana # AM20904 that features a maximum tire pressure of 80 psi refers to its cold inflation rating. You can absolutely use a wheel with an 80 psi valve stem for a tire that has a maximum psi rating of 80. view full answer...
Your trailer tires should always be inflated to the max capacity listed on the sidewall of your tires when inflated cold. Trailer tires are designed to be run at their max psi at all times to provide proper weight capacity, traction, and wear. If you over-inflate or under-inflate the tires they can fail and this is the most common cause of blowouts and uneven tread wear.
30 PSI would definitely not be a good option as I'm not aware of any trailer tires with that max rating especially... view full answer...
Trailer tires are designed to be kept inflated to their max PSI that is listed on the sidewall of the tire. You will want to inflate the tires when they are cold.
So what you need to do is check the sidewall of your tires and find where it says the max tire pressure rating. That's what you should inflate the tire to when cold and you will be good. This ensures you get the full tire weight capacity as well as speed rating. Lower tire pressure allows the sidewall to flex which causes heat... view full answer...
Trailer tires should always be inflated to the maximum air pressure as listed on the tire's sidewall. I cannot recommend inflating your new tires to below their maximum psi, as the amount of weight they are designed to support will also be reduced. Your ST225/75R15 sized tires with a Load Range E have a maximum capacity of 2,830 pounds at 80 psi. Inflating them to 65 psi will essentially reduce their maximum capacity to an unknown number, which can potentially cause you to overload them... view full answer...
It sounds like you are looking for a compressor you can use to inflate 16 inch tires to 65 psi. The Firestone Heavy Duty Air Compressor, part # F9499 is intended for suspension enhancement systems more than inflating tires. I recommend the Bulldog Compressor, part # BDW41000. The 12 volt compressor connects directly to the battery terminals via the included jumper-cable style clips. The compressor has a 150 psi capacity, so it'll inflate your 16 inch tires quickly. view full answer...
Yes, with trailer tires you do need to always keep the tire inflated to it's max PSI rating to ensure you get the full weight capacity of it and minimize heat build up which might cause premature failure.
So to ensure you get the full weight capacity of the # AM30859 you'd need to inflate it to 105 PSI when cold. view full answer...
Tire manufacturers advise that trailer tires need to be filled to the max psi listed on the sidewall of the tire while cold. Your new tires should be inflated to the 110 psi when cold. That pressure will fluctuate as you use the tires and the temperature changes. view full answer...
The psi should be listed on the sidewall of the tire. It is recommended that tires always be inflated to the max psi. Different tire manufacturers may have different psi ratings even for the same tire size and load range, so it's always best to go by the psi rating listed on the tire itself.
Also note that tires should never be over-inflated or under-inflated. Inflating tires to a lower air pressure than the maximum reduces the amount of weight that the tire can handle to an unknown amount,... view full answer...
Trailer tires should be inflated when they are cold and should be inflated to the max psi rating on the sidewall. In your case you would want to run 80 psi.
If you don't inflate them to the max psi figure you will lose weight capacity and potentially cause the tires to overheat and fail. view full answer...
Trailer tires need to be inflated to their max pressure when "cold" or before warmed up after driving. Since you inflated yours to the max pressure of 80 when cold the temp fluctuation you mentioned is normal.
Normally tires blow out due to improper inflation, overloading, or exceeding the speed rating for the tire. view full answer...
