Do I Need to Give My Kenda 4.80-12 Trailer Tires # AM30630 Time to Cool Down When Driving

Question:

If the Air pressure is mantained at 90 PSI and I mantain a top speed of 65 mph, Can i drive the trailer continuosly for long period of time? I hear different version where people recommend to stop every couple hours to let them cool down, etc Thanks

The 90psi is going to be the cold filling pressure; as you drive, the tires are going to heat up and the air inside them is going to expand. When running long distances, most tire manufacturers recommend that you stop for 30 minutes for every 3 hours of driving in order to let the tires cool down. After each stop, it would be a good idea to check your tire pressure and make sure that they're not going below the 90psi if you are having tire pressure concerns.
