Expert Reply:

It sounds like you have tires that are sized 205/65-10 similar to the Kenda Bias Trailer Tire Item # AM3H360 which has a maximum load capacity of 1,100 lbs at 50 psi (Links to other selections included). When it comes to the right tire pressure, always go with the recommendation on your tire. Do not go beyond 50 psi with your current trailer tires and do not exceed total load capacity. Also, never inflate a tire beyond its listed and rated psi capacity because this is not safe.
