My way is not quite as "scientific" as Padgett's. I have Carlisle 10 ply rating, load range E 225x15's on my 3124KS. To get the full "E" load range capacity, they are supposed to be inflated to 80 psi. I found that to be too hard, based upon the "jumble" found in all the cabinets after I arrived at destination.

I've since backed off to 70 psi, which still provides a load rating higher than required for my trailer, and the ride is more civilized. You always want to make sure that whatever tire you have meets the load range requirement of your (fully loaded) trailer, but this is one of the times where "more" is not necessarily better.
