Rear antisway bar on tow vehicle

See post #10...so you don't agree with these tire manufacturers?

No I absolutely agree if tire recommends deflating tires to suit load.....but MANY do not because their sidewall are not designed for flexing. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=219

....decrease air pressure so sidewalls flex and generate heat until they blow out. Trailer tires are supposed to be rigid and the leaf springs are what softens the ride somewhat. Unless your hauling passengers a rough ride is of little concern. The only way to safely smooth a trailers ride is to install shocks and passenger/suv tires. Doing this for a boat would be nonsense but some RV trailers do have shocks and softer springs. Also tire foot print and lateral traction is of little concern on a trailer since it follows the path of the tow vehicle.

I'm not sure where this wisdom comes from, but most is in direct conflict to experience gained through a lifetime of trailering and 20 years as service manager at a large RV dealership.

Your call in the end though. Police don't go around checking tire pressures....

Never says always inflate to maximum PSI. Says the following

ST225/75R15 Load Range C-sized tires inflated to their maximum of 50 psi provide 4,300 lbs. of load capacity
