Well, I have been all over the outside of the rims. I can only find a notation for 3580 max load. I cannot find a max air pressure.
The side of the trailer mentions 80lbs max. Though I imagine that relates to the ST tires.
I am hesitant to put on G rated LT tires that need 110lbs max for maximum load value when I cannot be sure of these rims (alloy, 8 lug). Checking online finds similar rims but again, only says max load, not max pressure. Though its kind of hard to believe that these metal rims could not handle a lot more pressure than they are being asked to handle.
I did the E to GY G conversion with 80 psi steel rims on my last RV and ran 85 psi with not even a flat in 5 years. The weight chart said 80 psi but I added 5 psi per GY tech support. The tread wear was very even when I sold the tires. With your aluminum wheels I would not worry a bit. I am sure they are the exact same thing as the ones rated for 110 psi. I am sure if you were to weigh all 4 trailer tires separately you will have at least one tire overloaded because one side is usually heavier than the other. I will bet your drivers side rear!
