Not to beat a dead horse but I am a little confused after reading many threads on the subject. I am running the Sailun S637 G rated tire with a max PSI of 110 which is what I have been running. I have read that many many people are running G rated tires at 100 or even 90PSI which lowers the tires max rating. I am confused as to why I would want to lower the inflation in the tire. Why would I not want want as much weight carrying as possible? What is the advantage to running a lower inflation?

Less chance of damage from road hazards with lower PSI and your trailer cares how hard it rides - things break and fall off faster.
If you set it to the proper pressure for the weight you also have the correct tire patch for the maximum amount of traction, i.e. less susceptible to cross winds.

I'd run them at max pressure like you are doing.
The reasons for less (so I have heard) are:

> Better ride...who cares, no one is riding in the trailer anyway.
