Tire Pressure - MAX vs DATAPLATE
A LOT of replies to tire threads recommend running the trailer (and I assume also car/truck/motorhome) at sidewall max psi instead of the dataplate psi. Why? My trailer tires have a max psi of 120....

"Sorry, but this is not much of an example. You failed to give any facts which support the decision to inflate to max PSI. It only seems that load range C tires were not suitable for the job. "

The examples I gave were to illustrate that the dataplates are for original equipment tires. Sometimes the tires get upgraded so the dataplate info may be incorrect.
I also included the suggestion to use the manufacturer's website to determine the correct pressure for the load.
