Setting tire pressure before hitting the road
Getting ready to hit the road and want to set tire pressure on truck and trailer. Max load pressure on 5th wheel is 110 lb. I set tire pressure cold but should it be set first thing in morning or late...

I always inflate my trailer tires to the 65# PSI. My 6500# GVWR trailer is usually loaded to withing 500# of GVWR. Should I weight the trailer everytime I leave home, and adjust tire pressure accordingly? Should I adjust the tire pressure depending on how much on board water I've used?
And at max tire pressure, I have an even patch of tire contact on the road, as evidenced by even, from tire shoulder to shoulder, dust coverage when going to camp sites.
My truck I air up to 55# in front and 60# in the rear according to the yellow sticker inside the door jam. It has ridden fine since I got the truck. It came with OEM LT tires with E load range.
