Tire max PSI is the maximum that tire is rated to have in it, that doesn't mean that is what you should put in it. The PSI you run depends on load or what the trailer says on it.
No need for chalk on my rig.
Believe I'll do what the maker of that exact tire recommends.
Again max PSI is not what they reccomend, it is the maximum allowable PSI for that tire. You can inflate them to that if you want to but if your weight is considerably less than what the tires are rated for you don't need to. There is tire inflation charts that tell you what psi to inflate them to based on weight. Or you can go by what the trailer says since the manufuacuers do know how much weight will be on it. Do you inflate the tires on your vehicle to the maximum PSI that it says on the tire or what the vehicle manufacturer recommends on the door sticker?
If it's the tires that came on the vehicle.
Once I change to some good tires-- I use the new tire makers inflation chart.
Case in point--- had a trailer that came with Goodyear Marathon tires. Trailer sticker said {inflate to 44 PSI}
Max on tire was something like 55 PSI---Once they started blowing--Goodyear came out and said, For Hiway speeds inflate to 65 PSI
When in doubt --I inflate to 5 PSI under max on sidewall.
folks I have been installing tires, selling tires, using tires, boats cars, tractors, lawnmowers etc. if you want to lower the lifespan of a tire, which allows me to sell more, please do underinflate said tire, now let’s look a ford suv, do any of you remember the Firestone deal. Well guess what, ford said 30 psi on a 50 psi tire. Outcome was sidewall was collapsing in a abrupt way, that was due to tire design, was designed to be inflated to 50 psi which not only does inflation help or hurt tire wear and affect heat, it is required to be inflated to that pressure for sidewall strength. Any tire needs to be inflated to max or within 5 to 10 psi while cold, never ever below that. Now I have a Denali suv, same bullshit, 2755520, 44 psi tire, gm says 32 I believe, not no but hell no will I inflate to that. It goes straight to 44. Test yourself in a abrupt jerk, at manufactures pressure and see what happens. Go back to max pressure and give it another try, u will never run what any manufacturer puts in door again. You will put max pressure that the Tire MANUFACTURER SAYS.

Most experts and manufacturers including Firestone, and Goodyear disagree with you.

When I replace trailer tires, I always upgrade to a higher load rating if possible. That means a higher max inflation rating. I inflate to a few PSI lower than the max on these higher load rated tires, ignoring the trailer manufacturer's suggested PSI. Never had a problem. Opinions?
2002 X19 200HP OX66 HO Vmax,HPDI lower, it lives, thanks Hydro Tec.
I think the tire tech probably knows what he is talking about . I just read online that tire pressure goes up 1 PSI with every 10 Degree F increase in temp and also goes up with an increase in altitude . A Sea Level to 3000 ft altitude increase can raise the tire pressure 1.2-1.8 PSI . You could get the tires into a "Thermal Runaway " situation where the temperature and pressure keeps rising faster and faster as you drive .
But your profile says your occupation is Commercial Laundry Sales Service and HVAC. So do you sell tires on the side ? I have also sold, installed and run tires on a lot of different vehicles but I never heard doing what you are recommending. I not saying your wrong but it's hard to believe.
Learnt my lesson in other posts and just going to watch
