Aimhigh Posted May 30, 2012 Share #1 Posted May 30, 2012 is there a formula or calculation for determining the proper tire pressure in a trailer's tires for varying weights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted May 30, 2012 Share #2 Posted May 30, 2012 Depends on the trailer, size of tire and other things. I have a small trailer, about 150lbs empty, for that I run about 15 lbs each side. If I going to put more in it than the bike should pull, I might put 20 lbs in it. Criteria is that you should have as much tire on the road as possible, but not have it soft on the bottom so that it runs hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aimhigh Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share #3 Posted May 30, 2012 While I still don't have a "formula"...you have helped immensely...I do realize the error of my ways! I wore a trailer tire out on my trip to MO and IL...had 25 lbs in it and the tread went wieder-bye-bye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
