The Tire and Loading Information Placard displays the cold tire inflation pressure and the load
limit for this vehicle. See the Tire Care section for an explanation of tire pressure and see the Vehicle
Load Limit section following that for an explanation of load limit.
Tire care
checking Tire pressure
note: Underinflated tires can decrease handling,
stopping performance, traction, tire life,
and load-carrying capability, in addition
to causing other negative and hazardous
effects, including tire failure. Overinflated
tires are at greater risk of an impact break,
where the tread and casing break when
striking a hard edge, often opening a huge
gash across the tread. Incorrect inflation
pressure also increases tires wear rate.
Therefore, it is important to keep tires
inflated properly.
Check all tires' pressure at least monthly,
due to the following factors:
•
Most tires naturally lose air gradually.
•
Tires can suddenly lose air if the tire
strikes a pothole, curb, or other object.
•
It is usually not possible to determine
underinflation of radial tires by visual
inspection.
This vehicle has 60 PSI recommended cold
tire inflation pressure. The term "cold" in this
manual does not refer to the temperature outside,

but it refers to the fact that a tire that has not been
driven for a period is cooler (and therefore has
lower pressure) than a tire that has been driven
on. Tires heat up while being driven on. To check
(or fill to) a tire's cold inflation, the tire must have
not been driven for more than a mile or two for at
least three hours. If you check a tires pressure
when it is not "cold", the pressure will appear
higher than the actual cold tire inflation.
Steps for Maintaining proper Tire
1.
Locate the recommended tire pressure
on the vehicle's tire information placard,
certification label, or in the owner's manual.
This trailer has 60 PSI recommended cold
tire inflation pressure.
2.
Measure and record the tire pressure of all
tires.
3.
If the tire pressure is too high in any of the
tires and the tires have not been driven for
at least three hours, slowly release air by
gently pressing on the tire valve stem with
the edge of your tire gauge until you get to
the correct pressure. If the vehicle have
been driven within the past three hours and
the tire pressure is too high on any tires,
