Lots of good opinions here. I appreciated the feedback on this thread.
Your tire mfg "Goodyear" says this about tire pressures used on trailers; clicky link
Goodyear Tire and Rubber .... weighing RVs
Special Considerations
**Unless trying to resolve poor ride quality problems with an RV trailer, it is recommended that trailer tires be inflated to the pressure indicated on the sidewall of the tire. Trailer tires experience significant lateral (side-to-side) loads due to vehicle sway from uneven roads or passing vehicles. Using the inflation pressure engraved on the sidewall will provide optimum load carrying capacity and minimize heat build-up.**
Of course Goodyear assumes the trailer has properly matched tires/wheel for the trailer...and hasn't been over tired as some rv trailer owners have done like using a load G at 4400 lbs capacity on a trailer with 2600-2700 lb load on the tires.
