Hi all. Apologies again for being the guy that seems to be asking too many questions. I am taking the safety of my family very seriously, so please no guy slapping himself in the forehead icons... ;...

Regardless of what the scales say, max out pressure to 65 psi. There is no down side. It will not wear the tires out faster and it will not diminish traction. Maybe on a car or truck it will but not on the marginal capacity of our st tires. BTDT for three decades.
Running at max pressure has many benefits like running cooler, less fatigue from flexing (longer life) and the highest possible capacity for the times it has to deal with pot holes and such.
You guys that age out trailer tires before they wear out need to get out more.
7 yrs. Full Time....averaged 15K a year on trailer tires.
YEP ran them at MAX PSI 110# and they wore evenly but never wore out. They did age out though.
Truck/5vr went across CAT Scales every year.....trailer axle weights were 10k/11k routinely. Tires were rated at 15k at max psi/leaf springs were 16K and axles were 14K.
Dang if it didn't tow smooth
