Default Trailer tire pressure

I was checking the tire pressure on my triple axle Myco trailer today and I'm confused. The trailer has a sticker on it that lists the size of each tire and it calls for 110 psi in each of the tires. I've got the specified tires on the trailer but the tires themselves show a maximum pressure of 60 psi. 110 psi seems way too high to me and its way over what the tire manufacturer recommends. Is this rating plate on the trailer a misprint? Anyone else ever run into something similiar? Please let me know. Thanks

To expand on what Splash said. First of all does the tire size and load range match what is on the sticker?

110 psi does sound crazy. My trailer just has stickers that say "Check Tire Pressure". I think mine are also 60 max.

I have the exact same sticker on my Myco trailer and just assumed that because the tires were supporting all of that weight that the pressure right. I hope it is because mine are inflated to 110 psi.

Max tire psi listed on tire trumps everything else.

I agree. Either a different tire is on the trailer than the trailer should have, or the trailer co fu*cked up and put wrong decal info on.


Never, ever, ever put more air psi in a tire than its max value primted on the tire says. You never want a tire (they are made of rubber and steel and other compounds) blowing out into your ribs or face. Bad !!!!!

These are the original tires that Myco supplied with the trailer from the factory. Exactly what they call for on the sticker. This has to be a misprint on the original sticker on the trailer, right?

Don't go off the trailer, only go off the tire. Trailer manufactures, previous owners, dealers...all change tires around on their trailers. Read the sidewall of the tire and go with that psi, you will never be wrong. Just be sure your tire is rated to hold the load you're pulling.

I keep 50 psi in mine -- I was told to keep the maximum pressure in them

Mine are rated at 50 psi and I keep them at 45. Myco is flirting with a lawsuit because of that sticker ...
