Read the manual or the decal on the left side of RV.

Most people run trailer tires at or only slightly below max inflation pressure. This helps them stay cooler.

I'm in the max psi group: The sidewalls flex less so they run cooler, that's the pressure where tires support the greatest load, and the stiffer sidewalls help reduce tenancy for sway issues. All wins!!

Of course, for any inflation pressure, keep an eye on tire wear.
