Simple math, for a travel trailer I use 13% for tongue weight (between the 10%-15% range). So, for every 1,000 lbs of payload there will be a 130 lbs increase in hitch weight. The remaining 870 lbs would be distributed among the 4 tires (assuming dual axle) for an increase load of 207.5 lbs/tire. Would you adjust the air pressure for that? This ain't a NASCAR race.

A fiver, using 20% pin weight for an increase of 1,000 lb. Load would result in +200 pin and 200/tire on dual axles.

In my thinking I'd rather err on a little higher psi as opposed to risking running under inflated.
