I am ready to hit the road tomorrow but I noticed the low tire pressure on one of the tires. So I took it to Walmart and the guy told me that it's not repairable! There's a very small leak on the side wall . Neither Walmart nor Pepboys has the tire size. I found one at Lowes but it came with the wheel. The bad tire I have says maximum 1360 lbs. at 50 psi cold; the tire from Lowes says maximum 1100 lbs. @ 35psi cold. Will the latter work (safely)? I am hoping to find another tire store or RV store that carries the right size and weight capacity as my old trailer tires before I head to the lake this Friday .
Oh yeah, I've learned that it's a no no to use the regular passenger tires in replacement for the trailer tires.
I also noticed that the trailer sticker says 65 psi cold. Should I follow that or whatever is indicated on the tire itself?
Enjoy the looooong weekend! Happy seadoooooooing!

I kept the set (as spare) from Lowe's and purchased a new tire from American Tires for $88 otd. Maybe I'll visit my local Harbor Freight Tools for my spare tire bracket.
