The absolute best trailer tires that you can put on your 2019 Montana High Country 380TH are the Westlake ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire # LHWL401 as it has an 75 mph speed rating and is a Load Range E (3,520 lbs at 80 psi). This also comes with a 5-year warranty and 2 years of roadside assistance.

The load range sticker in the driver door jamb of your tow vehicle is what the recommend psi rating is for the factory tire size. If this is the size you have on your tow vehicle then that is the amount you will fill the tires to. If you have a…

I know how you feel. Almost all tires are made overseas now and not just trailer tires. Westlake, Kenda, Karrier, Loadstar, Contender, and Taskmaster are all popular trailer tire brands comparable to, if not better than, other more well-known brands…

Unless otherwise stated on the wheel itself, wheels themselves will be able to withstand the psi rating of any tire that is confirmed to fit it. The piece that you will want to look at is the valve stem. If you have a rubber valve stem then the…

The psi rating on the sidewall of all trailer tires is the cold PSI rating, meaning the tire should be inflated to that psi rating before the tire heats up. If your tire says 80 psi, then the manufacturer intended for that tire to be inflated to 80…

That is a good question but inflating a ST235/80R16 trailer tire such as the Westlake #LHWL401 will not cause it to overheat. Trailer tire manufacturers have tested the psi and rated it to so that inflating it to the max psi takes into account the…

Answer 12

So typically a tire will increase heat by about 50 degrees when hot from driving. And for every 10 degrees of heat you will gain about 1 psi of pressure. This means you'd normally see a bump in pressure of about 5 psi. So if you set the max alert…
