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

I will try to be polite here. Anyone that runs MAX inflation on their tires just because the tires say Max inflation are not properly informed. At least run what the vehicle states to run. If you run 80psi on a unloaded pickup you are greatly reducing the stopping ability of the tires and causing the center of the tires to wear out prematurely.. There are weigh stations along every freeway stop and ask them to weigh each axle then use the charts to determine proper inflation for your tires.
Or just blindly run MAX inflation if you want.
Thank-you, thank-you very much......Max inflation has worked for me on several trailers, for over 40 years.
I was NOT talking trailers "If you run 80psi on a unloaded pickup".
If you are running ST's run max for sure but LT trailer tires can be inflated per weight and inflation chart.
Your choice of course.
