I run GY Endurance on my ‘76 Argosy 26’ at pressure listed on tire without problems or hard ride. What tire pressure listed on your tires.

Tire pressure

I never did find an accurate suggested pressure. I wasn’t sure about the tire pressure listed back in the day and todays radial tires. I asked several too and each had different but similar ideas. I ended up putting 55lbs in the tires. I took a 200 miles trip in the NC foothills this past week and all seems ok. If you find a good pressure please let me know, rookie here😀.

We are traveling next week to an alumina rally in NC next week and it’d be nice to know I’m within the correct lbs range.

Enjoy

The easiest method to answer your question is to visit the website of the manufacturer of your tires. Look for an inflation chart for the model tire that you have on your trailer and inflate for the load being carried. This does require having your trailer weighed, but the GVWR on the VIN tag would give you an approximation from which to start. It does make a difference according to tire size and Load Range rating. I run Load Range D on both my 1964 Airstream Overlander Land Yacht International (26-feet, 5,500 pounds loaded) as well as on my 1978 Argosy Minuet 6.0 Metre (20`feet, 3,000 pounds loaded), and the recommendation has differed between tire manufacturers as well as between Load Range C and Load Range D.
