I'd run them at 48-50psi measured cold. With anything at all in the trailer you're pushing the limits of the tire.
Really, pushing the limit? Please explain. I have 15" Marathons on my 66 Caravel - ST225 75/R15 rated at 2250lbs each. The new axle from Inland RV I will be installing on Tuesday is rated for 3000lbs. Two tires = 4500lbs of carrying capacity, well in excess for this trailer. Please let me know what I am calculating wrong. I will be very interested as I plan on staying with the "C" rated Marathons from now on. Almot impossible to find a name brand "D" rated around here. Just spent the better part of today looking and it would be 6 weeks for a delivery.
