Can I Use Tires that Use Different Required PSI on a 2-Axle Trailer?
Question:
On a 2-axle Jayco White Hawk trailer, I have 2 tires requiring 55 PSI and 2 new ones requiring 65 PSI. What should I do? This was not recommended by Jayco.

Expert Reply:
When considering tire PSI for a 2-axle Jayco White Hawk trailer, it is critical that the PSI requirements are the same for all tires. If a tire has a different PSI rating, that is an indicator that the load rating and capacity are different. With that being said, it is important to have tires that require the same PSI.
If you need recommendations for different tires for your trailer, feel free to reach out to me with your needed tire size, and I will be happy to make a recommendation for you.
