General rule for tire pressure?
I know the best answer is going to be "take everything to scales and check the pressure charts"....but is there a general rule of thumb if this can't be done? Thanks

Those that always run the MAX, are looking for fast center wear, and very low traction when wet, or dry for that matter.
The tires on my TV have a capacity of 13,660#, the TV has a GVWR of 8,800#, I do tow over the GVWR, but nowhere near 13,660#. I adjust the pressure according.
I NEVER tow with more than 70 psi in the rear tires, most times right at 65 psi. I am carrying 5,500# on tires with an 80 psi, rating of 6,830#
Aw you just don't understand!!!
It says 80 PSI on the tires that is what they should be ran at.;)
Before you start hurling insults, you should go read what it actually says on your tires. Generally, they say something along the lines of, 'Max load XXXX lbs at YY PSI.' The only tires I own that list a specific inflation pressure are on my wheelbarrow and bicycle.
There is a reason the entire industry used load versus inflation pressure tables to determine proper inflation pressures...
You missed Cummins winking eye, I think he runs his rear DRW's at about 40 to 45 psi.
