Tire pressure

[Woosch]

With the loads we carry we inflate our GYM's to 55 psi. 65 psi would be if we were at max load. See attached chart.

See ya on the road.

Check the valve core. In a lot of cases they are loose.
At the next tire change switch to steel valve stems. they are less likely to leak.

I inflate to 55 PSI and reinflate when they drop to 50.

I tow at 55-60 MPH and try to avoid hottest part of the day.

My fondest memory of my Marathon tires.

Not sure I can say this with respect to a large number of the Marathon failures that have been reported here but in my case I think the weaker side walls caused rim leaks on hard turns. My tri axle trailer puts a lot of stress on the front, and more importantly, rear axle during a tight turn. So much so the deflection is notifiable in the mirrors. Any shock to the tire while under this stress could cause a rim leak and reduce pressure below the critical point and thus heat build up.

Thus another reason why I now run E rated tires.

My slow leak was that the tire was not sealed on the Al rim due to a spot of corrosion. Dealer took the tire off the rim, cleaned the rim with a wire brush, and put it back on. Worked fine.
