Look up that tire and find out what the maximum WEIGHT rating is for it.
Weigh your rear axle with the trailer hooked up and loaded up. Divide that by two. That's how much weight you are carrying on each tire.
There may be a 2-digit alphabetic code at the end of the tire's sidewall description.
Example: P275/75R-15 SL
SL = Standard Load
XL = Extra Load
LL = Light Load
No letters means standard load.
With a max air pressure of 44, I'm guessing Extra Load. I would still weigh it.
Don't exceed that tire weight rating and as already said, don't exceed the max tire pressure.
If your tires are squatting at the max pressure, you are probably over weight on them. Just guessing.
