If you read the charts, these are "Tire Load Limits", not recommended pressures.

The left side tires on my 5er are carrying a good 800 lbs more than the right side, so I am not about to just divide my trailer weight by four and set pressures for the max tire load rating at that weight with no surplus load capacity.
Per GY Tech they say to weigh each tire if possible and use the heaviest weight on the axle and add 5psi to what the weight/inflation chart says. This if their recommendation if using the charts for upping the load range from lets say "C" to "D".
Thats for motorhomes and trucks ,most tire load tables I have seen also have this statement at the end /back in fine print "however in applications where axles are closely spaced i.e. trailers with mulitable axles use maximum sidewall pressure .
If its a trailer don't waste your time looking at the table' look for the fine print.
As I said per GY Tech when upping load range do as I said above. I guess the Load/Inflation charts are for nothing as the tires say "For Trailer Use Only".
So a GY tire changer is your expert ? Read the documents ,ya max sidewall , no point in wasting time looking along the charts for your 'line'.Thats what you did eh? most people do instead of reading the whole thing , just trying to save some one else the time.
