Trailer tires need to be inflated to the max psi rating listed on the tire sidewall. You will want to inflate them when cold.

We don't carry the specific tire you have so we don't have the info, but it will be listed on the side of the trailer sidewall.

Failure to inflate the tire to the max psi will cause heat build up and loss of tire weight capacity.
