I got these tires a month or so ago and believe it or not I looked all over them and there is no mention of how much pressure to inflate them. I've never seen this before but I was desparate and had to take what he had in stock as I was going on a boat trip.

They are called Deli Tire are are probably some mongrel brand (at least I've never heard of them). But does anyone else have a similar size and if so what does your tires say as to how much pressure.

My whole rig including the trailer and motor is probably around 1000 lbs.

After 500 miles they might be starting to show a little higher wear in the center, so I was worried they are over inflated. They have 46 lbs now which the shop put in when they mounted them.

Thx

45-50lbs is proably about right. I had a little 14' that had similar tires and rims and I ran them at 45.

Ya, it was actually on the tire. Funny my Daughter just asked me the same question only 30 minutes later as she said the tire on "her" rig looked low last week, but when she looked on the tire it said max pressure at full load 90 lbs . . . she only put in 50 lbs.

The reason hers said 90, and I finally saw it on mine too as 90 max pressure is WE WERE EACH READING OUR TIRES UPSIDE DOWN, because that was the position they both happened to stop . . . hahahaha

Good thing she didn't put in 90!

It's actually max load pressure at 60 lbs when viewed standing on your head!

Hey Kev, that pic of your car and boat is really a trick picture . . . right? You don't really tow a boat that "big" with a truck that small do you?
