1650 Bullet Crossfire. 225/75/15 tires.

I bought a pair of Carlisle Radial Trail HD Trailer Tires.

Shop inflated them to 80PSI.

I'm concerned that the rims can't handle that much pressure. Should I lower them to 60 or 65 PSI?

1. What does your Certification sticker say for tire size, Load Range and inflation?
2. What does the sticker say for GAWR
3. When was the RV made? (also on the sticker)
4. Have you loaded the RV to the heaviest you expect to travel (water, propane, cloths, tools etc and learned the load on each axle?
5. What LR are your new Carlisle tires?



The above will help us give an informed answer rather than just guessing. Tires MUST be inflated with enough pressure to support the load you are placing on the tires.



I have covered how to learn proper inflation numerous times in my RV Tire Safety net blog.
