Look on the back of the wheel and see what it is rated for...either weight or pressure. If what has been posted here is correct, Sailun can be run at less than max air pressure, dependent on the load on the tire.
Don't just air up the tire over 80psi not knowing what the wheel is rated for.
Do a search on here for Sailun and find the post with the email from Sailun regarding running less than max air.
From memory, and please don't take this to the bank, I think Sailun says you are OK to run the tires at 80psi if loaded no more than 3,000 pounds per tire.
You should weigh your 5th all loaded and "ready to go".
