Proper PSI For Trailer Tires?
I'm curious as to what you consider the correct psi, to put into your trailer tires? I have a toy hauler, 28' twin axle. Fully loaded i'm 15 - 16K lbs. The max rating on the tires, is stated at 80psi....

Tire PSI is not just to hold/carry weight...there are many duties that tires have
to do...carry weight is only ONE of them
Proper PSI is more to do with keeping the tire's shape while it is doing all of
those duties...directional, stopping, acceleration, and shock absorption
Directional is straight line, slalom, curves, cornering, etc. Within them is the
slip angle, roll over resistance, transition times, etc
More weight will have the tire's shape changed and even more so during maneuvers
Of course, it too low or too much, the tire tread will wear unevenly
