    My understanding is that the wheels will have a max pressure stamped on them. It may be on the inner (back) side, or it may be inside the rim and you would have to remove the tire to see it. I’ve never looked for it, so I’m not certain where it actually is.

    Anyway, these tires have been holding up well - they don't drop much below 80 psi even when sitting for a while. But I'm thinking of replacing them before a trip to Stone Mountain in March, which is a 6 hour drive for me. I'm considering Saliun or the Goodyear Marathon ST tire. Or, I may just make the trip on the Westlakes being aware of issues with older ST tires.

    My question is about actually changing the tires. Does the trailer need to be hooked up to the truck in order jack it up or can it sit on the front jacks. The only other time I had tires changed was on a previous travel trailer and it stayed hooked up to the truck - pulled it to Discount Tire. I've found a mobile service that could possible come to where I store it to do the change.

    Thanks for any input.
    Goodyear Marathon tires are made in china. You might want to consider Goodyear Endurance tirers which are made in North America
