Expert Reply:

The correct tire pressure will depend on what is listed on your tire. Trailer tires should be inflated to the max psi. This could vary depending on the manufacturer, so it is important to follow what is printed on the side of the tire. For example, the Westlake ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire # WE76FR has a max psi of 110 which can be seen in the picture below.
