That pressure worked quite well. Since I already installed a set of Timbrens last year, my old tires were the last weak link to shore up. Well it worked. I'm pleased on how well it towed. Especially since we had high winds going out and coming back home. Since we're done towing for a while, I dropped the pressure to 55 psi. But I'm thinking of taking it down even more to 50 psi. 60 psi is plenty for 1/2 ton towing. 80 psi would be like having a concrete tire. It's just not heavy enough to off set that kind of pressure.

I think that pin weight is an advertised empty trailer pin weight. I'd suggest a visit to the scales to see just how far " over budgeted" you really are.
