Recommended tire pressure

krozanski7

We have a 2018 T@B S with radial tires and the tire pressure listed on the tires is 50 psi. I'm wondering if people fill their tires to 50 psi or something less. Thanks for any guidelines you can share.

Etrailer says that trailer tire pressure should be inflated at maximum tire pressure listed on the side, but Nucamp have a sticker on the side of tye frame that specify correct tire pressure for their trailers.  

I would go with that.  Unless you transform you trailer in a cargo trailer between camping weekends.

Does anyone reduce the cold tire pressure at all in really cold conditions, expecting a significant pressure rise when the tires warm up from driving? I'm amazed by the pressure range/ temperature range variations.

Here is a chart for reference. Overall, it is not that big of a deal as it varies less than +/- 5 PSI. I keep mine at 50 PSI and the treadwear seems to be even in 11k miles.

There isn't much of a pressure rise unless your trip takes you into much warmer areas of the country. Where I live we have 90F+ during the summer and single digits in the winter and the heat buildup from driving doesn't make up for the pressure loss from low temps. Which is why I drive with a tire pressure warning light in the winter
