Checking Tire Pressure
note:
Underinflated tires can decrease handling,
stopping performance, traction, tire life, and
load-carrying capability, in addition to causing
other negative and hazardous effects, includ-
ing tire failure. Overinflated tires are at greater
risk of an impact break, where the tread and
casing break when striking a hard edge, often
opening a huge gash across the tread. Incor-
rect inflation pressure also increases tires wear
rate. Therefore, it is important to keep tires
inflated properly.
Check all tires’ pressure at least monthly, due
to the following factors:
Most tires naturally lose air gradually.
•
Tires can suddenly lose air if the tire strikes
•
a pothole, curb, or other object.
It is usually not possible to determine
•
underinflation of radial tires by visual in-
spection.
This vehicle has 60 PSI recommended cold
tire inflation pressure. The term “cold” in this manual
does not refer to the temperature outside, but it refers
to the fact that a tire that has not been driven for a
period is cooler (and therefore has lower pressure)
than a tire that has been driven on. Tires heat up
while being driven on. To check (or fill to) a tire’s
cold inflation, the tire must have not been driven for
more than a mile or two for at least three hours. If
you check a tires pressure when it is not “cold”, the
pressure will appear higher than the actual cold tire
inflation.
Steps for maintaining Proper Tire
Pressure
Locate the recommended tire pressure on the
1.
vehicle’s tire information placard, certification
label, or in the owner’s manual. This trailer
has 60 PSI recommended cold tire inflation
pressure.
Measure and record the tire pressure of all
2.
tires.
If the tire pressure is too high in any of the tires
3.
and the tires have not been driven for at least
three hours, slowly release air by gently press-
ing on the tire valve stem with the edge of your
tire gauge until you get to the correct pressure.
If the vehicle have been driven within the past
three hours and the tire pressure is too high on
any tires, then recheck the pressure once the
tires have been allowed to sit motionless for at
least three hours.

The Tire and Loading Information Placard displays the cold tire inflation pressure and the load limit
for this vehicle. See the Tire Care section for an explanation of tire pressure and see the Vehicle Load Limit
section following that for an explanation of load limit.
