MC Trailers

[MickUpi]

I did a search but all I could find on trailers was big trailers, not MC trailers. I was wondering how much air everyone is running in your MC trailer tires. I have pulled a trailer for about 25 years with 4 different Goldwings. I remember way back there I would put 25 to 30 pounds of air in the tires. I quickly learned that was way too much. I've seen my trailer bounce 4 feet high when you hit a bump. I kept decreasing it until now I run 12 pounds in my Aluma trailer. I know that seems low but it has worked well for the last 20 years or so traveling all over thee USA. Whadda U Think?

That is a great looking trailer.

I run my Aluma with 15 pounds psi. I've been pilling it for 16 years.

I change the tires every seven years, not because they are worn out, just getting old.

The tread always still looks new after many thousands of miles.

I have a Neosho Starlight and it is very light and i ended up running 15 pounds in the tires.It has a torsion axle and it seems way to stiff for such a light trailer.

I just did the same with mine. They were 8 years old. They also looked brand new and if you let all the air out and let the tires flex down I could see no cracks in the sidewalls. Would they be good for more years of use. They probably would but it just is not worth it to try.
