Trailer Tyre Pessures ?

[NattyBoy]

Anyone know what sort of pressures I should run on my single bike trailer (loaded). The tyres say 'maximum load 272kg at 50psi' but that seems a bit high..??

Thanks for any help..

I think thats about right. I've just bought a single trailer too so don't know exactly what pressure they should run at, but my my little 6' x 4' trailer i use to cart crap around in runs at 50 psi. I think its something to do with being a small tyre.

Depends on the size of the wheel I believe - those tiddly 10 or 12 inch wheels might run that high - my double bike trailer has 14 inch wheels and is very happy at 35psi.

I'd say as long as the tyre doesn't look obviously over or under inflated with the bike on the trailer, then you'd be alright around 35-40psi.

I've always run mine at about 30 ish so I'd say 30 - 35 should be spot on!
