If your trailer isn't at max weight then why carry max air pressure in the tires, especially a G tire? Air pressure is only for the load being carried. The heavier the load the more psi goes in the tires. At max weight of 19,000 pounds for my trailer, the six tires only carry around 2600 pounds each. I don't need tires rated at over 4,000 pounds. As it is I carry 65-70 psi in my tires because that is what the Michelin chart calls for. 80 psi is not necessary and 110 psi is overkill and can cause damage to the trailer from the rock hard tires. My current tires are coming up on 5 years old, they've been coast-to-coast several times with no issues.
Are guys putting G rated tires on their trucks? My dually has E rated tires and I run 65 psi in the rears, 70 up front when towing per the door sticker.
