If I ran my old trailer with tires at the max, I would have the capacity for nearly 24,000 lbs. on the triple axle. Having weighed the trailer, I knew I had barely 15,000 lbs. on those six tires. Absolutely no reason to run max pressure, and suffer the resultant rough ride.
Nothing wrong with adjusting based upon weight either. Still I would be 5psi over the chart not to exceed sidewall max. No harm to the tire running max psi. Could be a bouncy or harsh ride is all.
