Flotation tyres psi

[sh40]

What's the correct pressure for a flotation tyre 550 45 22.5 and then 550 65 22.5?

Between all the different tyres I am after getting confused. I know super singles are 100 psi.

On a safety note, i would expect a floatation would explode long before 100psi.
The dudes in the know will say it depends on the weight the tyre is carrying.
On my sprayer I am normally somewhere between 9 and 14 psi with floatations

We run ours at 50-60 for a mix of road and field use.

Ah, i never considered trailer tyres

 

[miniconnect]

Roughly 55psi normally

Have you checked the tyre manufacturers website for a load and pressure table?

Yes a silage trailer tyre.

Minimum 60 on silage trailers or they won’t last.

Run the silage trailers at 60 here. Pretty sure that was the recommendation in the Smyth manual.

Cheers. Will go with 60 psi.

Another question -whats the difference between a 550 65 r22.5 flotation tyre versus a 445 65 r22.5 super single? Is it just the super single is narrow or have flotation tyres something extra in them to allow them.have less psi?
