You can weigh your trailer...all wheels...and get the answer needed to use a tire pressure chart to potentially soften the ride of the tires by using a reduced pressure....or you can get the maximum load rating of the tire by using the cold psi on the sidewall of the tire.
I'm a simple guy and want the max load rating on a trailer that is subjected to road forces, sway etc....but that's me. For my money, it does not make sense to accept a reduced load rating to soften the ride on a trailer. And yes...the sticker on the side of the trailer will tell you the pressure for the tires your rig came with...
Picking a number out of the sky or not checking the tires is not in your best interest...
