Published 06/13/2014
Question:
What should the normal tire pressure be on this tire?
asked by: Jeff
Expert Reply:
The Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire # AM3H480 that you referenced should be inflated to 90 psi.
Trailer tires should always be inflated to their maximum psi listed on the side of the tire. At the maximum air pressure, the tires will perform and wear best, and get the best gas mileage.
If a trailer tire is inflated to a lower air pressure than the maximum, the amount of weight that the tire can carry will be reduced. If a heavier load is put on the trailer tire than what is recommended for that air pressure, the sidewall of the tire could heat up and cause the tire to fail.
You should always inflate your tires when they are cold.
