Tire pressure

my sticker on the door says cold pressure of tires: Front 75psi, Back wheels 80psi. When on the road and the psi gets higher due to temperature, at what point do you worry about how high the psi gets? What would be an accepted range before we should let air out? Thanks for any help!![emoji4]

You don't. Cold max inflation psi takes into account higher temps/pressure while rolling.

Depends on a lot of issues. I would never let air out of a tire if they got really warm if they had the proper PSI on them when they were cool. I always check them cold but now we have a TPMS, so no worries there. The tires will always heat up depends on the type of road, weather and speed. Tires have different tolerances depending on brand. Don't run cheap tires and don't over weight your rig.

Never have understood why people are so "cheap" when buying tires. They will invest $30K PLUS in a trailer then go looking for some $50 tires to replace the factory tires.

While many here won't do that, who do you think keeps the Chinese (and Korean, Japanese, Brazilian, etc) trailer tire manufacturers in business?

Some only get the message after they've had one (or more) come apart at highway speed and cause hundreds of dollars worth of damage to tank drains, body panels, or flooring above tire.
