    I read the towing bible and saw no mention of tire pressure. Just keep the recommended pressure for all applications?
    Thanks

    Don't exceed the max cold listed on the side of your tires. You can add up to that amount depending how heavy the trailer is.

    When I'm towing a small trailer or bass boat, I leave them at 35. When I towed my TT, I aired up to 40 rear.

    I follow the door jam pressures 29 front, 32 rear. I'll be towing a tandem axle 6x12 with a large garden tractor with 5 attachments. Does 40psi sound right?
    Thanks

    That's what I would go with towing that. Equally as important, make sure your trailer tires are aired up properly.
