Tire Pressure
I was wondering what the consensus was for running max tire pressure according to the sidewall psi rating is? Our Toy Haulers are heavy but I am towing almost 2000lbs under the gross weight of the t...

Make sure your wheels are also rated for the max. I can only go up to 65psi due to the wheels, tires can go to 80psi.
From the Carlisle Tire site: "What is the maximum psi limitation for your trailer wheels? Max air capacities are typically a function of the tire, not the wheel. Unlike tires, the load rating of a wheel is not generally dependent on the operating pressure. The wheels themselves are manufactured and tested to a load rating (without consideration of pressure) and can safely support that load. As long as the load is within the limits of our wheel's load rating in pounds, our product will perform as expected."
Sorry, you really were shorted.......
That is not really all that uncommon, especially when you get to the heavier duty trucks (I'm talking pickup truck, not MDT and HDT trucks). My 1987 F350 dually has 65psi max rated rims, while the tires can go up to 80psi.
