What should the PSI be in the trailer?
I have a trailer which has Sailun G rated tires. The maximum PSI of air is listed as 110 PSI. I was carrying 90 PSI but recently was told that the maximum PSI, that is 110 PSI is the amount of air I ...

Honestly the B-ball effect often referenced is only going to be visible on the soft sidewall ST tires. A good LT tire isn't going to demonstrate any B-ball effect. Perhaps that's why you can run an LT tire at pressures other than maximum with no deleterious effects.
When I replaced my "E" rated ST tires with "G" rated LT/ST tires, I compared the sidewall stiffness. The Carlisle "E" rated ST tires had sidewalls like tissue paper compared to the Sailun "G" rated LT/ST tires.
I simply see no reason to run my tires at maximum inflation pressures. It's working very well, over 20,000 miles and about 5 years and those tires are still in excellent condition. They look like they could go another 20,000 miles and 5 years more.
