Helpful Expert Reply:
Trailer tires should be inflated when they are cold and should be inflated to the max psi rating on the sidewall. In your case you would want to run 80 psi.
If you don't inflate them to the max psi figure you will lose weight capacity and potentially cause the tires to overheat and fail.

OK...so I see you are recommending the max pressure COLD. What if I live in Flagstaff AZ...7000 feet elevation in winter and it is 32 degrees when I measure the PSI. What does your COLD mean? 60 degrees is cold in Phoenix AZ...
