I -think- the 777's have Goodyear, but I would have to call someone in the shop to be sure. I haven't done an up close walk around on one since I first got checked out on it
Uhhh....I thought that was part of prefight? Oh, I guess you have people for that Tim.
What about tire pressure? I like to run mine a little higher than what is printed on the sidewall, how much above that number is safe?
I agree. I like them hard. I don't see a need to go above the max number, but you certainly can go past by 20%.
The only reason to go below it would be to make the ride softer if you are lightly loaded and have something that can't tolerate harshness...like people or Nitro.
Tire failure is usually caused by heat and flex. Hard tires run cooler and don't flex as much. Another big killer of tires in these dual and triple axle trailers is damaged caused by hitting curbs. (We all do it way too often). If you are LUCKY, the tire will blow right then and you will have to stop and change it.
If you are UNLUCKY, it will seem OK and then 100 miles down the road it fails in a big way at 65 mph!
