You will want to make sure the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 14" White Spoke Wheel # AM32161 is always aired up to the Max air pressure rating of 75 PSI no matter the load you are carrying.

Trailer tires are designed to always be aired up to their max pressure rating which can be found on the sidewall of the tire, and running pressure under the max can cause abnormal tire wear.

I included a few videos of the Karrier # AM32161 for you to take a look at.

I can end this debate for you real fast! Trailer tires, which will have an ST in front of the size, should always be inflated to the maximum psi indicated on the tire. Trailer tires usually do not have a recommended and maximum psi indication so I am…

On a towing setup you are always limited by the lowest rated component as the overall towing capacity since that is the weakest point. When it comes to trailer tires you always want to have them inflated to their max psi when cold. Not only do you…

The recommended tire pressure is the max psi listed on your tire. For example, the Westlake ST205/75R14 Radial Tire #LH37VR has a max psi of 65 listed on the tire. This will be filled when the tire is cold.

Answer 10

Trailer tires should always, always, always, be inflated to the maximum psi indicated on the tire sidewall. For tire #AM10235 (which is a 205/75-14, load range D) fill it to 75 psi. This is because trailer tires are built with a thicker sidewall…
