You just don’t get it. The recommended tire pressure (s) (correct pressure) for your trailer’s tires have been set by the vehicle manufacturer. When operating within a set parameter that’s how it works. If you decide to set your own agenda it would be best to identify that your agenda is to operate outside of the established parameters for tire servicing. In other words, there is a right way and a wrong way. I always try to provide information from the right way.

Fine, educate me.
I want to replace the ST175/80R13 tires with 185R14C tires. Notice that these are NOT ST tires, but are specified as trailer-only. I have measured the wheel well and spring travel to be ok.
These are 65psi max tires and in fact, every spec exceeds the current ST tire's specs.
Do you see any problem?
If not, what psi should I use with my single axle each of the two wheels weighed under 1100lbs.

When using replacement tires with a different size and design it must first be determined that the replacement tire has the basic qualities to satisfactorily replace the Original Equipment (OE) tires.
The recommended tire pressure (s) for such replacement tires will be derived from the load capacity and air pressure of the OE tires. For instance, if the tire placard depicts a recommended tire pressure of 65 psi and that pressure provides 2540# of load capacity the replacement tires recommended tire pressure would be whatever it takes to get 2540# of load capacity from the replacement tires.
