Trailer Tire Pressure?

[PW2013STL]

Getting ready to load the RT622 trailer for the ride to the owners event. Checking the pressure in the trailer tires and both we at 28#. Tire shows 60# with a loaded trailer. I put 60# in both.
My question to those who pull these trailers is what pressure do you run them at?

I used to run mine at 35, which is what is shown in the manual, but my new tires were showing wear on the edges. My husband called Kenda and they said that absolutely they should be at 60 psi. I've had mine at 60 for a couple of months now and several thousands of miles and I don't see any additional wear. It did not affect the handling at all, still don't even know the trailer is back there.

"Load Range B, meaning that this tire is compiled of 4 Plys. You should always keep trailer tires inflated to their max pressure. This will insure the sidewall of the tire does not heat up, and result in a blowout. This trailer tire can carry a load of 785 pounds when inflated with 60PSI."

Thanks for the heads up on this. Had long wondered why BRP recommended 35 psi. Wondered, but had never delved into it.

Thanks Ann! If anyone has experience running a loaded trailer it's you :bowdown:

I keep 60 psi and ride-on in them and have over 32,000 miles on them load have tall the time. I just put my new tires on for mopeds in 12" and wow they really float great now, and put new trie on here in Edmonton, Canada to day. Next stop Alaska , the rts is doing great also. New rear done to, and fronts also.. So have a great ride..so off to the north.... Last day to post until Alaska.

On the sticker inside the trailer cover, BRP recommends to inflate the tires at 35 PSI (Cold)

It's what i does.

At 35 psi and a load trl. You will blow the tire right out. 60 psi is the best and put ride - on. In them will be good to go. Not 35 psi bad bad bad ....
