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...
Trailer tires always indicate their rated psi-pressure on the sidewall. Trailer tires should ALWAYS be inflated to this COLD psi rating under all conditions. It is never appropriate to under- or over-inflate a trailer tire for any reason, such as to compensate for extremes of temperature. Any inflation pressure other than the rated maximum will tend to lead to the tire overheating, and overheating is the single most-common cause for trailer tire failure.

The Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10501 that you referenced has a 3,960 lb capacity when it is inflated to 110 psi. Trailer tires or ST tires should always be inflated to their maximum psi otherwise the tire loses it carrying capacity.
If a tire is under inflated it will reduce the amount of weight that the tire can carry. If a heavier load is put on the trailer tire than what is recommended it will cause the sidewall of the tire to heat up and cause the tire to fail. It... view full answer...
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. view full answer...
Trailer tires should always be inflated to their maximum air pressure. If the max psi listed on your trailer's side wall is 70 psi, then you will want to be sure to inflate the tires to 70 psi. I cannot recommend that you under-inflate your tires to 35 psi.
If the tire is not inflated to the max psi, the amount of weight the tire can safely carry will be reduced. Tires are designed to carry a particular amount of weight at a particular psi rating. If the tires are under-inflated and too... view full answer...
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.... view full answer...
The Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire # AM3H480 that you referenced should be inflated to 90 psi.
Trailer tires should always be inflated to their maximum psi listed on the side of the tire. At the maximum air pressure, the tires will perform and wear best, and get the best gas mileage.
If a trailer tire is inflated to a lower air pressure than the maximum, the amount of weight that the tire can carry will be reduced. If a heavier load is put on the trailer tire than what is recommended... view full answer...
As you mentioned in your question, tires should always be inflated to the maximum psi rating as listed on the tire's side wall. At maximum air pressure, tires will perform and wear best, as well as get better gas mileage. An underinflated tire can lead to the sidewall of the tire heating up, which may ultimately cause the tire to fail.
You should always inflate your tires to their maximum air pressure when they are cold. The small increase in psi as they warm up on the road is expected... view full answer...
All tires whether they are for your golf cart or for a trailer are recommended to be inflated to their psi capacity.
If a trailer tire is inflated to a lower air pressure than the maximum, the amount of weight that the tire can carry will be reduced. If a heavier load is put on the trailer tire than what is recommended for that air pressure, the sidewall of the tire could heat up and cause the tire to fail.
If a tire is over-inflated, it will wear more in the center of the tread, all... view full answer...
Trailer tires should be inflated to the maximum psi indicated on the tire. If your tires read 50 psi then that is what you will want to inflate them to. The trailer tires cannot reach their capacity rating unless inflated to the maximum.
Trailer tires have a thick sidewall so if they are under inflated that thick sidewall can generate excessive heat and lead to tire failure. I have linked our help article on trailer tires for you. view full answer...
All special trailer tires regardless of size should always be inflated to the maximum psi pressure rating that is noted on the tire sidewall. It is never appropriate to under- or over-inflate a trailer tire since only when inflated to their rated pressure can tires deliver their specified weight capacity.
It sounds like your trailer may have had a different size, type or weight rating tire originally specified by the manufacturer and this could be why the trailer itself lists a recommended... view full answer...
The Loadstar ST185/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire # AM1ST79 has a maximum psi of 65. It is recommended that ST trailer tires always be inflated to the maximum psi as stamped on the tire's sidewall because that is where the manufacturers test for a weight rating.
Inflating tires to a lower air pressure than the maximum reduces the amount of weight that the tire can handle to an unknown amount, which can cause the tire to fail if a heavier load is placed on the trailer. Tires at maximum air pressure... view full answer...
Trailer tires should always be inflated to the maximum psi indicated on the tire. For a 4.80-12 load range C such as # AM10062, it should be inflated to 90 psi.
The reason you inflate trailer tires to the maximum psi is because trailer tires are constructed with a thicker sidewall to handle more vertical load compared to passenger vehicle tires.
If under inflated the thicker sidewall will lead to excessive heat build up and tire failure. I have included a link to our help article on trailer... view full answer...
Yes, you probably need to inflate the tires to 110 psi. Check with the manufacture of the tires to be sure but most trailer tires should be inflated to their max psi. Running them at 70 psi underrates the tires so they aren't functioning at their max capacity. Tires are designed to carry a maximum amount of weight and they can't achieve that if they're under inflated. Also, the tire being under inflated causes it to wear unevenly decreasing the tire's efficiency and life span.

Tire size 4.80-12 is not found on vehicles, but is a common trailer tire size on smaller utility- and sport-type trailers. In trailer use you do want to inflate them to the maximum cold psi pressure noted on the tire sidewall. Trailer tires should never be under- or over-inflated since they can deliver their rated weight-carrying capacity only when inflated to their specified pressure. Incorrect inflation can lead to excessive heat which is the main cause for tire failure.

The tire, # AM32739, should be inflated to 95 psi regardless of load size. The problem is that under inflating a trailer tire will lead to degradation of the tire. On trailer tires, the side walls are thicker than on car tires so they can handle more vertical load. An under inflated tires side walls will heat up more often and quicker and will lead to early wear and possible failure of the tire.

I understand your logic and reasoning. Vehicle tires are very different than trailer tires and most manufacturers state to inflate them to the max psi when cold (prior to use) knowing full well the friction from the road and ambient temps will increase that psi and they plan for that. Vehicle tires are completely opposite in that aspect and are designed very differently as they have a much softer sidewall to allow for turning that trailer tires are not designed for. Trailer tires have... view full answer...
The Air Lift Load Controller I Compressor System for Air Helper Springs, # AL25651, is meant to keep air springs inflated, it wouldn't be a good product for inflating tires.
