General agreement, yes - total agreement, no. ;) Forum pundits who will claim to be experts on the subject would insist you load the trailer as it would normally be for a camping trip, take it to a weigh station, and measure not just the gross weight of the trailer but also the weight bearing down on each side of the trailer, then adjust your tire inflation to match. The reality is almost no one does this, simply inflating to the maximum imprinted on the tires' sidewall.
