RE: [RC] Truck/trailer tire ? - Steph Teeter

However, if it's very hot the tires will over-inflate from the heat of the
pavement. I had  blowout a month ago - temps were 100+ degrees, our
'normally' inflated tires were like balloons. I was told to let all the
tires out by 10-15 psi when it's that hot.

My truck tires say they should be inflated to 80 lbs, the trailer's to 60.
Yet my hubby, who is wonderful but doesn't know anything about autos or
fixing ANYTHING, says that I should not inflate the tires that high.  That


They should be inflated to the manufacturer's specs.  If they are
underinflated, as yours have been, the sidewalls will flex too much, will
overheat, and will do exactly as you describe.
