Question:

At what psi should I keep my trailer tires? Its a 8 ply 15inch rim and tire set from you guys. It says max psi 65 cold with 2500 lb. I just wanted to make sure that I am running the correct psi or close to it. Thanks for your help

I looked up your order and you purchased the Taskmaster Provider size 225/75 R15, part # TA57VR, tire and wheel combo.

Trailer tires should always be inflated to their maximum psi when they're cold. So, in your case you want to inflate your tires to the 65 psi before driving the trailer which causes the tires to heat up. If you run the tires with higher or lower psi it can cause the tires to become excessively hot and possibly fail.

I've linked an article with some general information on trailer tires and wheels you may find helpful as well.
