    About to tow my motorcycle and trailer about 1k miles. Should be around 2k pounds with all my stuff. Should I increase the tire pressure? I have the stock wheels and tires at about 32.

    No. That’s a light load just tow as it is. There’s been other conversations on TW about the same thing. All I can say is I’ve towed travel trailers, trailer trailers and boats trailers with various trucks and have never adjusted the air pressure in my vehicle tires due to what I was towing. I’ve not experienced a single problem with my vehicle tires while towing. The only thing i do is make sure my trailer tires are at max pressure as stated on the sidewalls .

    The only air pressure you should be adjusting when towing is your helper bags.

    If you put that entire load ON THE TRUCK, then you'd want to increase the tire pressure a bit.
    But since its all on a trailer, leave the tire pressure alone.
