Would guess there are TWO questions here: Your truck -&- Your trailer
TRUCK: - From your other post, doesn't appear your truck tires require 110 psi.
Usually the factory supplied (as well as after market) p/up truck tires will have a max psi of 80 lbs.
Inflate to what the door sticker indicates.
However - for the REAR tires on the truck, when running with an empty bed (not towing) - lowering the pressure in the REAR tires will result in an improved ride.
Your option on that one - "buckboard" ride or not.
Remember to increase the pressure in the rears before towing.
TRAILER: Inflate to the max psi as indicated on the sidewall.
However, you may choose to reduce that (ex: 10 psi) for an improved ride. Again, your option.
To determine the EXACT load on each of the trailer tires, you need to weigh the trlr as posters have suggested.
"COLD" - simply means *before* the vehicle (truck or trailer) has been driven on the road.
