Maximum pressure is usually for load. But not dangerous. But without load wear will probably be high in middle of tire.

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.

The pressure on the tires is the maximum. The RV manufacturer should have a recommended pressure. Vehicles have it on the door frame.



The recommended tire pressure on the RV is 65 PSI cold

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

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.

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

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.

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
