:) Heading to Vegas then on to Monteray this saturday and was curious what to run for pressure front and rear.Will be towing a 2 place inclosed trailer with 2 bikes on the way out, then mine will be in the back of the truck additionaly on the way back.I searched for some clues here but the range is all over the place, or else the search didnt do a good job.Any help appreciated. :cool:

I think it really depends on trailer weight. I run 60 up front and 70+ in back when I tow my boat which weighs in around 4000lbs.

I'd run the max both ends, u don't have much of a load but w/ the heat and high speed driving I'd keep them up.
Your tires are 60-65psi max correct?

If u look in most owners manuals they tell u to even go 5psi over for extended driving.
I'd stay at 60psi and enjoy yourself.

You said 285s.. So I would guess 8 ply. Very few in 10 ply currently. So Max psi being 65. I would max them out for what you are requiring. Keep in mind when unloaded you should lower the pressure back down to get even wear across the tread.
good day
