I probably tend to "over-think" tire pressure sometimes, partially because I'm somewhat anal about those kind of things, and partially because I spend a good deal of time getting precisely the correct air pressure settings for my track/racing motorcycle. The rear tire that I use is incredibly sensitive to the proper air pressure and if overinflated even 1 - 1.5 psi, it will start hot tearing and I will destroy a $200 tire in a matter of a day. I own a calibrated air pressure gauge that is guaranteed to be accurate to one half of one percent all the way to 60 psi. I also own a probe type pyrometer and take hot tire temperatures as soon as I exit the track, along with pressure readings

I just need to let that thought process go when it comes to trailer tires where a pound or two difference really isn't a big deal in the scheme of things.
