Trailer tires should be inflated to the maximum psi indicated on the tire. If your tires read 50 psi then that is what you will want to inflate them to. The trailer tires cannot reach their capacity rating unless inflated to the maximum.

Trailer tires have a thick sidewall so if they are under inflated that thick sidewall can generate excessive heat and lead to tire failure. I have linked our help article on trailer tires for you.
