rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 188 Posts: 18632 | I’m just wondering with two tires with two different pressure ratings might cause the trailer to wave back and forth for the entire trip. Not really a good thing to have happening. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

We shall see If I have that problem, will use the spare to even things out. Just replaced the spare. Old spare of course had great tread but unsafe at 14 yrs old Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

I would probably keep them both at the same pressure and not exceed the 50 the lower one is rated at. Not sure it would make a lot of difference. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

Rethinking this Feel uncomfortable having a 65PSI tire at 50PSI so I pumped it up to about 62 Will watch the trailer closely If I do have a sway problem, will switch out one of the tires with the spare Spare is brand new, not sure if its a 50 or 65 PSI If I do switch out the tire. Will order one online so I have matching PSI tires and have it delivered to my buddy in Maryland that I am picking up to go to the festival Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

I bet the tire with 50PSI is smaller than the others with 65PSI. You want to put the smaller tire in the back axle. The 2 front tires need to be the same size/brand so there won't be alignment problems. Not so much with back tires. |

One axel RV. Its a 2005 Fleetwood Timberlake popup Just pumped up my spare. Its brand new and a 50PSI tire If I notice a sway, I will switch out the 65PSI tire and replace it with the 50PSI spare I think I will be all right.

Absolutely no issues with sway. The F150 easily towed the camper. Never once floored the gas pedal, got the needed acceleration without flooring(cant say that about the old SUV I use to tow with). Love my F150. Towed the camper from Tampa all the way to Maryland, picked up friends and did the 4 day Lockn music festival in Virginia On the way back, stopped in Charleston, walked all over the USS Yorktown and visited Fort Sumter Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |
