| Description of the problem | My travel trailer came equipped with 2 coker p225-75r15 passenger car tires. The sidewalls on these 2 car tires are too weak to support the gvw of the trailer. The tires require an extra 10 lbs. Of air pressure above the psi stated on the tires in order to ride properly. They still bulge as though going flat even with the additional air pressure. This travel trailer should have been equipped with special trailer tires with stronger sidewalls at a minimum. We worry constantly about having a blowout. |
