Default Trailer tires

Gang,

It does not appear that the trailer has any suspension,
so I think I'd run the tires slightly soft, maybe 25-30 psi.


Hard to imagine a trailer without any kind of suspension. Seems to me it
would bounce like crazy over any kind of rough road, not to mention
beating the glider to pieces.


Agreed. An axle using torsion arms for sprung suspension may "look"
like it has no springs, i.e. no leaf springs or coil springs, when in
fact it does.
