The maximum air pressure for the tires on your aluminum boat trailer will depend on their size and load rating. The value for the maximum air pressure should be listed on the tire's sidewall. This value on the sidewall will usually designate the maximum load at a maximum psi.
For example, the Provider ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # TTWTRTM2157514D has a 2,200 pound maximum load at 65 psi. In order to extend the life of your tires, will want to always inflate them to their maximum psi and stay under their listed load capacity.
I have attached a couple of articles on trailer tires and wheels that you may also find helpful.
