Expert Reply:
Trailer tires are constructed with stronger sidewalls and are designed to be fully inflated to their max psi, unlike your vehicle's tires. The psi rating for your tires will be listed on the sidewall. Since tires with the same dimensions could have different ratings I can't say exactly what yours will be rated for, but typically it's around 80-90psi.
For example, the Kenda Karrier ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire with 16" Black Mod Wheel # AM34834 requires 90 psi.
