PWC Trailer Tire PSI ?

[enegron]

I have an older Shoreland'r PWC trailer I recently acquired. I just replaced two of the 4.80 by 8 tires it had. It hauls a 460lb jet ski. <br /><br />The specs sticker has faded. Any idea what the tire psi should be on this thing? The tire side walls say they will hold 90psi max. Seems high to me...

I would run the max according to what it says on the sidewall. If you don't believe what it says, take it to a good tire shop. I don't have any tires of that size to compare.

I really wonder if you read the sidewall correctly. 90 PSI on that small a tire sounds awful high. 60 is more in line with what I've seen. The real danger is that the rim halves may blow apart at those pressures -- the result of which you don't want to experience.
