I've learned a lot from many of you and i THANK YOU!

I would inflate your tires to the max air pressure of 110PSI to insure that they do not fail because of under inflation air pressure. Tires will heat up faster due to lack of inflation air pressure to support the tire load than a fully inflated tire.

Now if you have weighed each individual tire/wheel to find the load that is being placed on them. Than you can use the tire inflation tables published by the tire manufacture and set the air pressure according to that load.

I have down this on my truck since I am running 10ply tires; but I do run the max air pressure in my trailer tires.
