Hey Mike, go by the pressure listed on the tires themselves. The max cold pressure will be listed. This is a good starting point depending on the total weight you’ll be hauling.
For example, on my 2019 VC 19ERD the label says 75psi for the original tires that came on it for the GVWR of ~4384lbs. The ones on it currently list 65psi. So depending on the weight when towing it 65psi is the max cold pressure. When towing less I can lower it to 60psi to prevent the trailer from getting hammered on uneven roads from max tire pressure. Make sense?
So as tires have different load ratings your tires (assuming they’re all the same) will have their max cold psi listed as well as their load rating. Mine are 205/75 R14D. R means radial. D is the load rating. Hope this helps.
