Lets go one step farther from Goodyear germane to the subject which is tires on trailers; trailer tire pressures
Special Considerations
**Unless trying to resolve poor ride quality problems with an RV trailer, it is recommended that trailer tires be inflated to the pressure indicated on the sidewall of the tire. Trailer tires experience significant lateral (side-to-side) loads due to vehicle sway from uneven roads or passing vehicles. Using the inflation pressure engraved on the sidewall will provide optimum load carrying capacity and minimize heat build-up.**
Goodyear mentions a poor ride quality which would be someone who has over tired their trailer such as one poster on another website who mounted a 17.5" 16 ply rated load H Sailun S637 at 6000 lbs per tire on light loaded 7k axles.
