MC Trailers
I did a search but all I could find on trailers was big trailers, not MC trailers. I was wondering how much air everyone is running in your MC trailer tires. I have pulled a trailer for about 25 years with 4 different Goldwings. I remember way back there I would put 25 to 30 pounds of air in the tires. I quickly learned that was way too much. I've seen my trailer bounce 4 feet high when you hit a bump. I kept decreasing it until now I run 12 pounds in my Aluma trailer. I know that seems low but it has worked well for the last 20 years or so traveling all over thee USA. Whadda U Think?

I run my Aluma with 15 pounds psi. I've been pilling it for 16 years.
I change the tires every seven years, not because they are worn out, just getting old.
The tread always still looks new after many thousands of miles.
You don't quit riding because you get old.

I have a Neosho Starlight and it is very light and i ended up running 15 pounds in the tires.It has a torsion axle and it seems way to stiff for such a light trailer.
Tires
I just did the same with mine. They were 8 years old. They also looked brand new and if you let all the air out and let the tires flex down I could see no cracks in the sidewalls. Would they be good for more years of use. They probably would but it just is not worth it to try.
