RE: [VAL] Tires



I wouldn't be too fast to say that the PSI is too high.  I had a '60 22'
Safari and put E load tires on and kept them at 90 PSI according to what was
listed on the tire.  Never had a problem with bouncing or tracking.  I have
the same type tires on my current trailer and Michelin tires on my Dodge
2500 Diesel.  I keep both at about 90 PSI with no problems.  The tires are
designed to operate at the higher pressures and handle well.  You can have
just as many problems with an under inflated tire as it is easy to get heat
buildup which will cause early failure.
