New Tire Question

#1 Post by C_M_25 » Fri Aug 15, 2014 4:58 pm

Ok, so I finally got two new tires under warranty installed last week (because of a rotten new tire) on the trailer (single axle). The tire specs are the same by weight and psi, so I know they will carry this load. They are at max psi of 50 right now. They are a different brand from before as well which is a good thing I guess? Anyway, I'm particular with tires, and these look under-inflated. What gives? Should I worry about this? Taking an early morning fishing trip tomorrow, and any response would be appreciated. Thanks

That's a radial tire and is supposed to have some squat to it...
