Jerry I know you want an answer but reality is you won’t inflate your tires to 80.
Kind of true, but never liked the idea of using a higher rated tire than needed, then deflate them to fit the load, when using an ST trailer specific tire. I don't need an E-rated or load capacity of 2830 per tire.
My reality is...I need a quality ST 225/75R/15 in D-rating 2,540 capacity at 65 lbs. If GY Endurance came in this size, 8 ply, D-rated, they would already be on the way.
Friends don't always agree, and some are highly opinionated. I know this has nothing to do with you and I!!! :)

Everyone has their opinions and that is what makes us unique. I always say why do they make weight/inflation charts? I say to be used.
I use the chart on my DRW running empty. 35psi is the lowest pressure on the chart. I am a rebel and run 30 on my rears with plenty of capacity. If I did not the centers would be worn out. 53k on my tires and will easily get 60k and that is towing at 1/2 the time with 6k pin and the other half with the truck weighing 10k.
