Goodyear says on the tires side wall "inflate to 65 psi". No questions about what Goodyear recommends.Overinflating can reduce traction, braking ability and handling, as well as result in uneven wear and an uncomfortable ride...The proper air inflation for your tires depends on how much your fully loaded RV or trailer weighs...See load inflation charts...actual air pressure required should be determined based on the actual load on each individual tire.- Goodyear Tire Care Guide
Inflation pressure should be adjusted to handle the tire carrying the heaviest load, and all tires on the axle should be adjusted to this pressure.
You can follow your charts all you want. I like having the reserve capacity. There has been no downsides to it in the 12-15 years I have been doing it.
