Etrailer eh?  Never thought of them for tires.  Their customer service is outstanding...may have to look to them for tires

My BC16FK came stock with the 14" BFG, guess it being a Off-road Camper it gets a better tire, The Spare is just the Normal thread which I will change to the BFG sooner or later.[attachment id="797" thumbnail="1"]

I'd say the tire manufacturer. Never exceed the max rated pressure of the tires.

[quote timestamp="1468626778" source="/post/23059/thread" author="StevePro172"][div][/div]Well my 8.5x22 VRV came with Westlake LT tires.  right on the sidewall says max air pressure when cold 50 PSI.  On the tongue of the VRV says 8100lbs max with 65 PSI in the tires!?!?!?!!?!?

Do I listen to Livinlite or the tire manufacturer?[/quote][font size="3"]I agree with BillMoore, never exceed the tire manufacturer's max sidewall pressure. However, it looks like you may have the wrong tires on the trailer. Normally 50 psi indicates a load range C tire. [/font][font size="3"]I would  guess you're looking for a load range D tire at 65 psi.[/font][font size="3"] The tongue sticker should tell you what size tire and what inflation pressure meets the trailer designer's specs. You can find that tire size on the internet and see what load each tire must carry to meet the GVWR. A simple approach is to pick tires to match your axle ratings. The 8.5x22 is no longer in the LL catalog, but it looks like the 8.5x24 uses 4400# axles ((GVWR-tongue weight)/2). This means each tire must be rated at 2200#. If your existing tires are rated at or above 2200# at 50 psi you're good to go. If not, you need to change to a tire that will carry 2200# each. Be careful about going to a wider tire than specified due to wheel well clearance problems. [/font]
