The genesis of this was, when getting my truck serviced and tires rotated, I asked the guy at the shop about tire pressure psi and to talk about vehicle tires and a trailer tires. Anyhow, long story a bit less long, for your vehicle tires, look inside your vehicle door for the manufacturer's recommended tire pressure psi. For trailer tires it is less clear as trailer tire pressure psi can be more variable based on weight/load.

The link below was helpful and has a chart on page 9 for trailer tire pressure. Interesting question - where do we haul our large drink and ice filled coolers, multiple rods/reels, multiple bait boxes, release tools, and all the other things we put in our boat, when we drive to the lake? The weight of these things can add up quickly and require a person to change the trailer tire pressure psi. A friend always told me to haul my gear, coolers, etc in my truck when driving to and from the lake and I do but never understood why...now I think I know why.

Note - apologize if this has been posted before, but the search wasn't working...I found it useful and thought someone else may to.
