My opinion, may be wrong may be somewhat right. With the equaflex suspension on most trailers it is possible, under certain conditions, to transfer the weight from one tire/axle to the other. It may be only for a moment but it can happen. Think about what happens when you go over a speed bump. You can actually lift one wheel off the ground. (And you can actually buy ramps designed to do this for tire changes on the road.) At that moment the normal weight that two tires carries is transferred to a single wheel. Because of this, I feel better at max inflation pressure.
UH, you don't think they consider this?
I "FEEL" it's best to air to PROPER psi based on load for better stopping, ride AND tire life. I have literally a million miles on truck and RV tires with EXCELLENT tread wear and mileage using inflation/weight charts.
Don't believe me ask GY Tech, add 5psi to actual load when going to a higher load range.
