[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 383318, member: 432"] In my line of work I have dealt with vehicle manufactures and tire manufactures. Depending on who you talk to the answer is different. The vehicle manufacture tells you to use the pressure stated in the cars manual and the tire manufacture tells you use the pressure stated on the side of the tire. I think if you put them in the same room they would fight. I can see both point of views but there is no clear cut answer. Myself, I tend to go with the tire manufacture view. You can get a smoother ride with a little less pressure but you need to keep an eye on tire wear and adjust accordingly. A trailer tire with less air also has a little more rolling resistance and therefore will work your bearings a little harder. [/QUOTE]
