If your tire placard says 80 psi you already had ST235/80R16E tires. The Sailun LRG is also a ST235/80R16 and at 80 psi will provide the same load capacity as the OE tires. They will be a little more durable but not stronger when inflated to 80 psi. To gain much needed load capacity reserves from your new tires you should establish a new recommended inflation pressure for them.
