Are the Taskmaster 5.30R12 Tires Directional and Can They Be Run at 45 psi
The Taskmaster 5.30R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range C # TT53012C are not directional, so they can be mounted in any direction. However, they are designed to be run at 80 psi and in order to prevent uneven wear or damage to the tires should always be run at the recommended pressure.

The more likely issue here is the valve stems that...

Trailer Hitch Fit Recommendation for a 2017 Mazda CX-3
Officially we have to recommend that you always stay with the recommendation of the manufacturer on towing as they are who the warranty of the vehicle is with and they are who would have tested the vehicle for towing.
