Goodyear tire pressure question

Getting my 2017 Whitehawk ready for The first trip of the year. Has been in storage. The trailer has Goodyear tires. They are rated to hold 65 pounds of air and a speed rating of 85. I checked the air levels and all the tires are sitting at 62 to 63 pounds cold. Do you all think that is good and I don’t need to air them up to 65? Seems silly to question 2 or 3 pounds.

This might help. What's the GVWR of your trailer?

A couple of pounds won’t make a big difference but remember the gauges are not right-on accurate.

There could easily be a couple pounds difference between gauges.
If it's a pain to inflate, I wouldn't worry too much. If it's easy to do, wind them up to 65 and send it.

People with OCD would air up. Those without, wouldn't. I suspect you don't have OCD.

if at home getting ready for a long vacation I top them up to 65... if on the road and they are down a couple of pounds here or there I just keep on going... convenient OCD....
if down 5lbs or more then i find a air hose and top them off at my next gas stop
