Way back when, I used to work out with a Quality Engineer from Continental/General Tire in Charlotte. He often told me that tires performed better when pressurized to their max cold pressure. Something about less heat buildup and better sidewall stiffness. More air pressure may also give you less rolling resistance, hence better fuel mileage. He also told me OE grade tires (those that come on new vehicles) were the best tires you could ever get. As an aside, he also told me Michelin had the best quality tires, at least back in the 1990s. Given that, I would go with the trailer manufacturers recommendation on tire pressure as the low side range, and the max sidewall cold pressure as the high range. I have always run mine near the max with no issues. On passenger cars it can make the ride noticeably harder.
