Expert Reply:

Your typical trailer tire like your Carlisle Sport 5.30-12 tires should be run at the max psi rating unless you have some kind of chart like Goodyear tires have. At 80 psi you know the tires have a max load of 1,050 lbs. If you chose to not inflate the tires to 80 psi then you would have an unknown capacity for that tire.
