Specifically, how do you address this non-linearity?
I also don't change things like tire ratings without a reason.

You seem to be confident about this payload/PSI relationship for each and every tire. May I ask where you're getting this info?
And it is not "for each and every tire".
It is only for going UP one load range rating without a significant increase in load.
Other considerations may apply if making more drastic changes.

So is it okay if your trailer came with a rated 80 psi tires to put G-rated and only run 80 psi my rims are rated for 110 PSI the G rated 110 PSI tires would be running 30 PSI under recommended pressure that does not sound right to me
If there is no specific reason other than you just think they will be better somehow......then the answer is "Yes, absolutely".

Certainly didn't want to start another tire debate. Just trying to focus on the logistical issue of finding reliable sources of air at 110 PSI.
You should be focusing on NOT doing something that will potentially be dangerous to you and others on the road.
You should NOT put 110 psi in your tires just because you CAN.
As mentioned, many RVs intended to use 80 have rims that are not designed to go to 110......and doing so can be dangerous.
There is no debate about that.
If you need the higher rated tires because of added weight AND you have the proper rims to do that, just say so and we can move on.
The cold inflation pressure for the G14 is 110. I prefer to listen to the manufacturer. I have had three sets of these ALWAYS at the suggested cold inflation pressure with no problems.
