Your trailer will have a psi rating on it for the load, the air holds the load irrelevant of brand or style of tire. On page 6 of facts on the good year endurance trailer tire there is a chart for load capacity of each tire per psi.

So running max pressure with not enough load to flatten the tire out you may end up like a motorcycle tire, this picture is a wet out of the lake tire that picked up sand where the tire was touching the ground.

And if the tire is not flat it may be accelerating the wear in the center/ making more heat.

I do run a few more cold psi in my trailer but not 15 more. The chalk on the tread is the same as the sand in my picture but backwards. When I had 65 pounds in my tires I determined it was to much and looked into why (picture attached is without the boat on the trailer but I had the same results with the boat loaded at 65)
