What PSI For Loadstar 20.5x8x10 Trailer Tires
Updated 02/17/2020 | Published 02/15/2020
Question:
I have Loadstar 20.5x8x10 on my tear trailer. I cant tell you the load rating because it is stored away right now. Last summer we drove the Dempster Highway in the Yukon and had 4 flats. Over 1600 km on shale and granite gravel! The acid test for any tire. I was running 50 psi. Would a higher pressure have reduced the likelihood of flats? I think Ill replace them before go anywhere this year.

Helpful Expert Reply:
It sounds like you have a Loadstar 205/65-10 trailer tire like part # AM3H480 which always needs to be inflated to the max PSI according to Loadstar.
You want to inflate to the max psi to give you the rated load capacity as well as the best traction. Not running the tires at max PSI can cause your tires to overheat which is the leading cause of failure.The only tire manufacturer that allows for lower PSI with lighter loads is Goodyear at this time. I also recommend to make sure the tire is not overloaded.
