Question:
I have a viking pop up camper epic 1906 Model 510 that has 4.8-12 americana tires on it. What should the tire pressure be ?
asked by: Bill
Expert Reply:
The amount of tire pressure you need in your 4.80-12 Americana tires depends on the load range of the tire.
If it is a load range B, it will need to be at 65 psi like # AM10060.
If it is a load range C, it will need to be at 90 psi like # AM10062.
The trailer tire should state what load range it is on the side wall. Trailer tires should be inflated to their max psi rating listed on the tire sidewall for best performance and longevity.
I have linked an article on trailer tire frequently asked questions for you also.
