Couple things - I have been using a TPMS for years, did a review on it. EEZ Go on the two TT tires, works great. I inflate to maximum on trailer tires.

I checked and the tires that are on my RP189 are Load rating E and max pressure  80 psi cold.  80 seems a bit high to me?  From what I have read you should inflate to max psi.  My TPMS is good to 87 psi max.  I am thinking maybe 70 to 75 psi would be okay.  Any thoughts?

I didn't see anywhere on the forum where anyone was using a TPMS.  With a single axle trailer I would think a flat tire could be a disaster.  I got a Tymate system off Amazon.....cost $70.  It measures temperature and air pressure.  You can set the high pressure alarm, low pressure alarm, and high temperature alarm.  It also has a fast leakage alert.  In the info it says these aren't for trailers I guess because of the distance from the tires but in reviews a lot of folks said they worked fine on trailers.  At any rate I'm going to try it and see if it works.  If it does I think it is worth it as an extra measure of safety.
