I Like Tires
BassAckwards : you are correct about my tire size and GVWR .
Maybe I will go to 40 PSI to reduce the sidewall flex.The temperature is barely reaching the freezing mark here at the moment,so heat should not be an issue.
The TT will be empty.
Thank you for all the replies so far !

Picking up the trailer tomorrow. I set the PSI at 38. Temperature is around -10C. This will stiffen up the sidewalls a bit , but I wanted good traction as well in case of snow.
FYI the dealer stated they set tires to 35PSI a month ago at the last oil change. When I first checked the pressure yesterday, they were at 31-32 PSI. I will check the tires more often now.

Going to pick up my first TT in a few weeks. I have P rated SRA tires , normally set at 35 PSI . I am thinking I should add more air to the tires when I tow the trailer. TT will weigh about 4800LBS when I pick it up. I will be driving about 200 miles. The TT will have a WDH .
Would 45 PSI in all 4 tires sound about right ??
