Can anyone help me, i have checked on the door of my trailer for the tyre pressure and it says 2.5kg bar, i have googled and believe this to be equivalent to 36psi, does this sound right?

What kind of trailer is it? I thought my Ifor Williams tyre pressure was 35 psi and it turned out it should be 65psi!!

My ifor is 55psi so 35 seems incredibly low!?

You have to find out what kind of tyres you have and the total weight of trailer.
Total weight can be found on a metal-like plate the VIN-plate MPVW mostly called.
The tyres maximum load and kind of tyre on sidewall of it , when you are busy also search speedcode.
Normal car tyre -standard load= Pressure needed for the maximum load ( maxloadpressure, reference-pressure futher Pr)2.5 bar/36 psi for European tyres , and is not the maximum pressure of tyre wich is only printed on them of 3.0 bar/44 psi to 3.5bar/51 psi.
XL/Extraload/reinforced= Standard Pr 2.9 bar/42 psi.
C(omercial) - tyre
C-load/6PR ( plyrating) = 55psi/3,8 bar for European system.
C-load/ 8PR = 65psi/4,5 bar or 69/70 psi/ 4.75/4.8 bar.
give that here and I will put it in my made Caravan/Trailer tyre pressure calculator wich gives an advice with some reserve and still acceptable comfort ( for the horse) and gripp.

Ensure you check the tyre, as I was recently towing & my car plate said towing should be say 50psi, and as I was putting air in I noticed the tyre said MAX 45psi, (these are examples I can't remember the exact no's). But the tyre Max was lower than what my car recommended & tyre pressure increases with driving.

Its a rebadged Cheval Liberte trailer, i will have a look again at the tyre's sidewall, although I couldn't seem to find the information i wanted, i will make a note of it all and post back again! - Thanks all of you for your help

My Ifor williams has an information sticker inside for recommended tyre pressure. Yours might too? It is small and yellow

The tyre pressure should be stamped on the tyres . It is also worth checking that the tyres are the correct ply rating .
