Need recommendation for tire pressure for TT tires

Hi, We have a 21.5' Travel Trailer, with a GVWR of 4769. We are getting ready for our first camping trip of the season, and I'm looking for a recommendation of how many pounds of pressure to carry...

1. ~4800lbs / 4 tires = 1200/tire, or 30lbs(1300lbs). The safety margin is in the tongue weight that is excluded from the axle weights.

2. Watch the tread wear. Edge wear inflate, center wear deflate and adjust until wear is even.

3. Max psi on the sidewall cold.

All could be right and all could be wrong!
