Like Mr/ Poodle said, can't go wrong following the MFG tag! I tried running a little less pressure up and back from 1K, the reason is my torsion axle trailer rides a lot harder then a spring axle trailer. I wanted to soften the ride a little, so I dropped to 45psi I checked tire temp at 50 miles they were not much warmer then my hand then again at every stop there after it stayed the same. I am going to leave it at 45 as I am running at 2/3 max trailer load rating, it handles great and has softened thr ride for the boat.

50 lbs cold...

:wavey: What Poodle said, I keep checking them, check them before you move the Trailer for your Trip. Just the ride a mile or two to the Gas Station can effect the True Reading...that's why they say "Cold"!

Wow does this mean you will actually attend some of the Real Donzi Events, like Lake Winnie and 1000 Isles and of course the Owners Rally?

Cool Got any pics Bill?

Doc :biggrin.:

I agree with 50 psi. I have the exact same wheel and tire. Owners manual for the trailer, and every other creditable magazine agrees.
