Re: [RC] trailer tire pressure - Sisu West Ranch

One does not want to have a blowout on a trailer tire.  Trust me on that one.  The leading cause of blowouts is tires that heat up.  The less air in the tire the more it heats up.  Any marginal increase in horse comfort from softer ride, is way overshadowed by an increased chance of blowout.
 
The safest course is to purchase tires with a high enough load rating (goes from A to E with E being the highest), and then inflate to the maximum.
