Trailer tires
We have a dual axle travel trailer with 13" wheels. On our last trip blew one of tires. I started doing some research and found that these are ST rated tires which I think means they are rated to 65 M...

Again, at the risk of sounding repetitive, I'll say it again: I have four tandem axle trailers. I run all of these trailer tires at max sidewall pressure ( 65 psi on my D rated tires and 80 psi on my E tires ).
All of my trailers have far more tire load capacity vs what I am actually carrying. None of them are wearing tires "in the center, in a classic over inflation wear pattern". None of them. That's 16 tires. All wearing normal.
I base my inflation on three things:
1. the trailer manufacturers recco
2. the recco of a retired tire engineer, with a background in failed tire forensics
3. personal experience
....as always, YMMV. Your money, your tires, do what you think will work for you.
