I looked at my tires they are 8ply D they are load star 205/75 15 and rated at65 lb pressure I guess I will up the pressure up to 65 although it’s a 7000lb rated trailer for a boat that weighs4000 -4500lb plus trailer

We usually put in about 50 lb of pressure we have same size tires on a tandem axle continental alum trailer 7000 lb rating I would think that might ride very rough Jim
