By the way, how much tire pressure on this one , nobody seems to agree !!

The max tire pressure is marked on the tire sidewall. That pressure is "Cold" pressure. It is important to inflate the tires to the max listed on the tire if you are concerned about the weight. Load range "C" tires really are marginal for a 2720SL fully loaded and max tire pressure is important for tire performance.
If you have never replaced the tires, it is time to do so. Trailer tires tend to fail at about 5-6 years. If your TM is a 2003, your tires may well be 2002 or earlier (at least 7 years old). Tread depth means very little on trailer tires. It's all about age and rubber rot.
