Providing Insulation Against Heat Loss A little science here: solids and liquids conduct heat well; gases do not. Air, for examp...

We therefore have discontinued this product. What to do Instead Two Piece Mast - This comprises of a lower section, which is very similar to the traditional mast and an upper upper section which slides inside the upper section. This option retains the advantages of the Gunter Rig as when the mast separated it fits inside...

You are going to have to use some common sense along with some testing of your own with this as the tyre pressure will vary depending on what trailer you have with which tyres and what load you are carrying.
