We own a Transcend 26RLS with E rated Westlake ST225/75R15 and I run them at 80 lbs. Our trailer GVWR is 8495 lbs (worst case) and our tongue wt is 900 lb, so 8495 - 900 = 7595 lbs and 7595/4 = 1,899 lbs per tire. On the tires it says that the max load is 2470 lbs when inflated to 80 psi. So we should okay? At the very least we're planning to purchase a TPMS just to be safe.
I was shocked when I noticed a while ago that our trailer tires aren't balanced. So I did some research and learned that trailer tires aren't normally balanced. Why is that? I'm guessing that the trailer manufacturers don't want to pay for it. Wouldn't it be better for the tires overall not to mention the trailer, not to have the tires bouncing around when moving? I would have to think that would help improve the tire life by reduce cupping (wear), tire separations and blowouts. No???Last edited by BeerBrewer; 07-19-2019 at 07:05 AM.

Chiefblueman.....You are a man of few words!
I'm going to use Centramtic wheel balancers on the trailer and maybe even the truck.
Thanks again!

Tire Balancing
Use to own a 3000 lb pop up trailer. First few trips loose screws, broken cookies, crumbled
Crackers and sparks coming from the toaster ( shorted heat filaments ). Turned out the tires
Were way out of balance and I assume they were shaking the trailer. Had them balanced, no
More broken chocolate chip cookies. I hate that !

I’m in a park with another reflection 29 RS that had a blowout on this trip
If you have load e west lakes on a 29 RS replace them before you get damage
Do you consume anything on long...
