Hi Erik,

If I remember correctly, the max. press. listed on the side walls of
the original tires supplied on my Olds Silhouette and Cobra trailer is
44 psi. I usually only elevate the tire pressures when going on a long
trip when I need to travel at higher speeds. From experience, this
alows me to cruise about 10 mph faster which helps. However, I agree
that the sidewalls need to be stiffer. The thread I refered to
described their solution which was to buy a pair of aftermarket 17in
wheels (for some model Honda) having the correct 4 bolt pattern and
equiping them with low profile tires. They were elated with the
results. I would do the same if I wasn't so cheap!

Let me know what you decide to do and the results.
