Yes, I do travel long distances with the boat - 3+ hours for my trips up north. Additionally I am traveling a lot fishing metro lakes which tends to be a lot of stop and go at times, which can also be more wear and tear for a tire than cruising at highway speeds. I have a Skeeter 1825 with a single axle trailer, so those tires are under quite a bit of weight (looking at close to 4000# when loaded). I tend to keep trailer tires at the top of their recommended psi ratings as heat is the enemy for trailer tires and the higher psi means less flexing and less heat.
