Phil,

I tow my 1250# Turner in a 2700# ATC trailer and ALWAYS run 50 lbs.  The
reasons for 50# have been noted by others.

Don't know what you're towing with.  But, I have to say, "Watch your speed."
My tow vehicle is a BMW X5 diesel & it is far too easy to do 90- mph while
towing.  NOT good for the trailer tires.  I delaminated 2 on my last run
to/from Savannah.  Stick to 65 to 70 if you can.  Saves fuel too.
Difference is dramatic with X5d - 12 mpg at 80, 14 mpg at 75, 20 mpg at 50.

Norm
