On a trailer tire such as the 5.30-12 load range D # AM10068 you always want to inflate the tire to the maximum psi, which on this tire is 105. There are other load ranges in this size which have a different psi; your tire should have the recommmended psi written somewhere on the sidewall.
Doing this will give you the best performance, allowing the tire to wear more slowly and allow for optimum gas mileage.
