A question for the experts if I may. Read here last week that Goodyear has come out with a new made in North America trailer tire. Talked to my tire guy this morning and sure enough he has them on order scheduled for delivery mid March. My concern that I addressed with him is the 225 75 15 Endurance is a 80 psi rated tire where as the aluminum rims on my 2013 Passport Elite 23RB are only rated for 65 psi. He said to go with those tires and keep them at 65 psi. I've dealt with this guy for years, in fact our auto dealership is his biggest customer. We probably buy 2 dozen tires a week off him. I do not believe Mike would mislead me but I am concerned with heat build up running the tires at lower than specified inflation. What are the thoughts from others out there. BTW he quoted me a buck and a quarter each installed which I thought was pretty good.
