I believe the Marathons are rated for 50psi. if they are the 6 ply rated trailer tires. I run them on my utility trailers and that is what i run in them, D.

I have Cooper Cobra tires on a tandem axle trailer. What tire pressure should I run?

Yes, go by the max rating on your tires sidewall.

My last two Cat trailers have had Goodyear Marathons on them. They call for 50lbs of air pressure. I always try to keep them right at that level. I put a lot of miles on my Cougar trailer and when I traded it in, the tires looked like new. I run 50lbs in my Baycat trailer tires also.

always especially on a trailer tire run the max psi its not safe to run any less, the tire was designed to run at max psi. Your sidewalls will get hot quick and your tire will fail!

Since the recommendation to run maximum pressure as stated on the tire didnt sound reasonable to me, I have done some research. I believe the max pressure idea is probably true for trailer tires (those marked ST). Basscat uses automobile tires–at least thats what came on all my trailers. Therefore I called Cooper tires customer service and they indicated that the max pressure marked on the tire is the maximum that should ever be put in the tire. As in automobiles, the pressure recommended for the tires is a relationship between the design the of automobile tire and the weight of the rig. Since I could not give him an exact weight, he indicated 35 PSI would be a close ball park number. I tend to agree. Comments?
