They do that to find a flat tire. It is not always obvious by looking.
If I hit the desert in 115 degree temps I would just keep on rolling and not worry about my tires that are inflated to the max cold pressure.

Even if you have some age on those tires?

When a tire has a maximum pressure rating of 80 PSI printed on the sidewall, it is a pressure designed to be safe for the tire. The maximum ratings specifically say "cold" on them. So, if it says 80 cold it can and will safely handle pressure increases due to heat. Think a minute about your position. If 80 is the absolute maximum then you could never fill it to 80 because it would be over than once the sun hit the street. You would always have to stop and release some air to keep it at 80. Is that what you are saying?
Yes, I am "over tired" on my trailer. Airstreams suffer from harsh rides. My system allows me to run a tire with a little give in it but at the same time can handle the load. Works for me over 9 years and more than 40K miles.

Like people have said.....
They were underinflated at 30 psi.
They should be at max which would be 50 psi for load range C.
Guy at discount tire said to always run max sidewall pressure on trailer tires, less heat generated that way.
checked the side wall and it says max @ 35. I put 30

Mkirsh, but of misinfo on your part. Yes plenty of boats get shipped with no trailers, but most runabout to cuddly size boats that are targeted for day trippers and hauling to the lake come straight from the factory on a ......... Trailer.
35psi tires is a small boat/trailer/axle, so 30psi is still reasonable. My mistake, but get some new tires anyway.
Oh with out a doubt that is what I am going to do. I plan to get the weight first then get appropriate tires.
