Really? EVERY trailer I have seen has a sticker with recommended tire pressure, same as any car or truck.
Post up a pic...
Every trailer I have seen has a pressure for max cold sidewall pressure for max rated axle capacity. Max capacity and actual loading are generally different and such require different pressures.
Just like on a vehicle the sticker tells you to run "x" psi if you are loaded at axle capacity.
It's nothing more than a max and should not be confused, thou generally is especially on this site, with proper pressure.
My trailer has a sticker that says 65 psi, max sidewall, for loading the 5200lb axles up. The owners manual then goes on to tell you to run max until you weigh the trailer and then adjust for your loading.
Max loading @ max pressure should be on every vehicle or trailer... recommended pressure @ actual loading will not be on the trailer because the mfgr doesn't have any idea how heavy you will load it.
